Given acceleration, we can also find velocity and position by integrating... We require unknown constants to be added at each step; their values are often determined later from "initial conditions".

A projectile is fired from a cannon at a 45 degree angle across flat terrain. The muzzle velocity is 300 m/s. Neglecting air friction, find the distance away that the projectile lands.
