How to Evaluate Horizontal Range of Projectile?

Horizontal Range of Projectile evaluator uses Horizontal Range = (Initial Velocity of Projectile Motion^2*sin(2*Angle of Projection))/[g] to evaluate the Horizontal Range, Horizontal Range of Projectile formula is defined as the maximum distance that an object can travel horizontally when projected at an angle to the horizontal, taking into account the initial velocity, angle of projection, and acceleration due to gravity, providing a crucial parameter in understanding projectile motion. Horizontal Range is denoted by H symbol.
