The angle of the ball thrown to the maximum.
Answer to Problem 1Q
The angle of the ball thrown to the maximum range is
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for maximum range of the projectile motion of the ball.
Here,
Conclusion:
From the equation (I) the landing distance of the ball is maximum when the quantity
From the trigonometry relation the maximum value for sine function is 1, if
Therefore, the angle of the ball thrown to the maximum range is

The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees.
