What is the formula for initial velocity, and how do I use it when dealing with ballistic trajectories. I have an ANGLE:30 degrees DISTANCE:232 meters spent TIME:5.2 seconds in the air.
===========================
The horizontal speed = 232/5.2 m/sec
@ 30 degs, horizontal speed = muzzle speed*cos(30)
