For a fixed initial speed, the range of a projectile is determined by the angle at which it is fired. For all but the maximum, there are two angles that give the same range. Considering factors that might affect the ability of an archer to hit a target, such as wind, explain why the smaller angle (closer to the horizontal) is preferable. When would it be necessary for the archer to use thelarger angle? Why does the punter in a football game use the higher trajectory?

Kara is setting up a tee-shirt cannon for a community event. The angle of the cannon can be adjusted, but all projectiles leave the cannon at 25 meters per second. If Kara sets the angle of the cannon to be 20.o above horizontal, what will be the range of the projectiles? 64 m 61 m 41 m 25 m
Why an angle of 45 degrees gives the largest range possible in case of projectile motion
Our pinoy pride, Kai Sotto, is now training for his upcoming 3x3 basketball tournament next year. Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the three-point line is 6.75 meters from the center of the basket. If he will train for three-point shooting, what should be the ball's angle when he shoots the ball if he will try to shoot from a height as high as the basket with an initial velocity of 8.2 m/s? Is it 40°; 50°; 60°? How long would it take for the ball to reach the ring for each of the angles? What is the ball's maximum height for each of the angles? And how fast is the ball's horizontal and vertical initial velocities for each or the angles?

A ball is shot from ground level over level ground at a certain initial speed. The figure gives the range R of the ball versus its launch angle 8g. In the following questions, you will be ranking various points on the path. If multiple points rank equally, use the same rank for each, then exclude the intermediate ranking (i.e. if objects A, B, and C must be ranked, and A and B must both be ranked first, the ranking would be A:1, B:1, C:3). If all points rank equally, rank each as '1'. LINK TO TEXT Rank the three lettered points on the plot according to the ball's speed at maximum height, greatest first. R Point a Point b Point c 1. Greatest 2. Second greatest 3. Third greatest
