Homework Equations
rvac= ((2Vxo)(Vyo))/g
The Attempt at a Solution
I just have a question, after googling range formula i found R=v^2/g sin2@ now why in my book it gave me rvac= ((2Vxo)(Vyo))/g ? could not find much info on what Vxo or Vyo stand for. There was a example and I got the same answer when i used R=v^2/g sin2@ but it never showed what the Vxo equals, they just skipped all the steps.
Thanks
