Figure shows four paths for a kicked football ignoring the effects of air on the flight rank the paths according to the initial horizontal velocity component highest first

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}=\frac{2u_x{u}_y}{g}$

$\therefore Range\propto horizontalinitialvelocitycomponent\left(v_x\right)$

In path 4 range is maximum of football has maximum horizontal velocity component in this path.
