An object is launched from a point on a horizontal plane and lands a distance R away from this point along the same plane. The maximum height of the object's trajectory is H. In terms of R, H and possibly g, derive an expression for (a) launch angle, and (b) the launch speed.

For an object being launched at ground level at a tilted non-zero initial velocity, is the velocity zero anywhere? Are the horizontal or vertical components of the velocity zero at any point? What is the shape of this trajectory? (Use the mathematical term). If an object is launched with a strictly horizontal initial velocity, what is the vertical component of the initial velocity? Will an object take longer, less, or the same amount of time to reach the ground if...
