A projectile is an object that is given an initial velocity, and is acted on by gravity. The horizontal range of a projectile is the distance along the horizontal plane it would travel, before reaching the same vertical position as it started from. The horizontal range depends on the initial velocity v0, the launch angle θ, and the acceleration due to gravity. The unit of horizontal range is meters (m).

R = horizontal range (m)

v0 = initial velocity (m/s)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.80 m/s2)

θ = angle of the initial velocity from the horizontal plane (radians or degrees)
