Physics

To calculate the actual range of a projectile launched at a 60° angle with an initial velocity of 50 m/s, while considering a 20% reduction in horizontal velocity due to air resistance, follow these steps:

 

Calculate Initial Velocity Components

Initial Horizontal Velocity ():

 

Initial Vertical Velocity ():

 

 

Adjust Horizontal Velocity for Air Resistance

The new horizontal velocity after a 20% reduction:
