A projectile is launched with a speed v0 at an angle θ to the horizontal, from a height h. How far does the projectile travel before it hits the ground?

Derive an equation for the horizontal distance a projectile travels when launched at height H with initial velocity vi and launch angle theta (with respect to the horizontal).

Take a projectile launched horizontally at speed v. If the projectile travels a distance X in time t, its speed is given by v = (note there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction). Using the time found above, determine the speed of the projectile (launched horizontally from a height H) in terms of X, H, and g. Show your work below.
