The Formula used to calculate the angle of launch is shown above. The formula itself has problems because it leaves out many variables such as wind, height of launch, etc. and thus making it more usable for a "vacuum" cannon launch than one in the real world. We plugged in many angles and came back with one that made the projectile go the furthest. It turned out to be just under 40 degrees. We did not get to see our angle in action due to the failure of the reaction. If we were to redo the project I would choose o use a better formula and maybe come up with a better calculated angle.
