Here, the horizontal component of initial velocity will be vcosq and vertical component of velocity will be vsinq.

The horizontal distance travelled in time t will be

x = (vcosq)t – ½ gt2

The vertical distance travelled in time t will be

x = (vsinq)t – ½ gt2

so, we have

x= (vcosq)(2vsinq/g) + ½ a(2vsinq/g)2

and for maximum horizontal range, we differentiate (1) w.r.t q

dx/dq =cos2q+a/g sin2q =0

(or)

Tan2q = –g/a = –g/QE/m = –mg/QE

Thus, the maximum distance the object can travel horizontally before striking ground is

– mg / QE
