Description	Given a launch angle (degrees) and intial speed (m/s), determine how far a projectile will go. Gravity is 9.8 m/s^2

Solution

float angle = getInputFloat();
float speed = getInputFloat();
float vspeed = sin(angle) * speed;
float time = 2 * vspeed / 9.8;
float hspeed = cos(angle) * speed;
float disttrav = hspeed * time;
 
setOutputFloat(disttrav);
