Q2) Read, from the figures determined in Q1 or directly from the results calculated using your
spreadsheets, the predicted max. horizontal distances travelled (in the x-direction when y = 0 approx.)
for the “drag” and “no-drag” cases. Complete the following table with hand written values. Round your
results to nearest integer (no decimal places).

Q3) Complete the following table by hand written values for the maximum distance travelled in x. Use
values rho=1.2 kg/m^3, mass=0.05kg, D=0.045m, theta=45degrees in this question.

Q5) For a 30m/s launch velocity, taking the values rho=1.2 kg/m^3, Cd=0.4, mass=0.05kg, D=0.045 m,
find the maximum horizontal distance of travel for launch angle varying from 20 to 70 degrees and
record hand written values in table below. Plot the graph and use it to find the angle of launch which
would give maximum horizontal distance of travel.
