Question

What is the range equation” (assuming no air resistance and flat/level ground). Make sure that you have a nicely formatted equation, and that you include text to properly introduce the equation.

Compute and plot horizontal distances using the range equation. Assuming an initial speed of 40 m/s (which would correspond to a very fast baseball pitch), plot the horizontal range versus the initial angle (in degrees). On the same plot, add another curve that shows the same results but for an initial speed of 20 m/s (which would be a much slower pitch). Make sure that your plot is nicely formatted (with axis labels, units, etc.).
