An object is fired at an angle θ above the ground with an initial speed of v0. Find an expression for the horizontal position x of the projectile when it hits the ground in terms of v0, θ, and g (gravity). Start with the kinematic equations for x(t) and y(t). Use y = 0. Then eliminate time t. Note that sin(2θ) = 2 cos θ sin θ
