To find the coordinates of the point where the speed of the projectile is minimum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the projectile motion A projectile thrown at an angle will have both horizontal and vertical components of velocity. The horizontal component remains constant, while the vertical component changes due to gravity. ### Step 2: Determine the angle for maximum range For maximum horizontal range \( R \), the angle of projection \( \theta \) is \( 45^\circ \). This is a key point because it will help us in calculating the components of the initial velocity. ...
