If you do not take air resistance into account, a projectile fired at 45° above horizontal will travel farther than a projectile fired at any other angle.

What angle will a shot putter's shot go the furthest?

Theoretically a projectile will travel furthest when it is shot at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. However, resistances caused by wind and rain will affect that. It probably has little effect on the flight of the shot. In that case the speed at which the ball leaves the shot putter's hand is of equal importance.


In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?

The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.


Will a ball thrown almost horizontally go the furthest?

No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.


A billiard ball will stop short when it collides head-on with a ball at rest the ball cannot stop short however if the collision is not exactly head on why?

The momemtum trasnsferred is only partial, mvcos(angle). If angle is not zero, there is momentum not transfered and thus left to move the incident ball.


Norma kicks a soccer ball with an initial velocity of 10.0 meters per second at an angle of 30.0 and Acirc and deg. If the ball moves through the air for 3.2 seconds what is the horizontal distance tr?

If it is kicked at 30 degrees to the horizontal then it will travel 27.7 metres.

What is the furthest distance a golf ball has traveled on ice?

about 5,00 miles


The best angle to score a soccer goal?

The question is impossible to answer exactly without more environmental information. In theory, with gravity and in a vacuum, a 45 degree angle would cause the ball to travel the farthest.


What is Trajectory?

A trajectory is the angle made with the horizontal when a projectile is fired. Suppose the projectile is a cannon ball. Assuming air is frictionless, that cannon ball will travel the greatest distance if the trajectory is 45 degrees from horizontal.


What is an incoming angle in geometry?

The incoming angle is the angle at which something comes at some other object. For example if you hit a ball on a pool table against the side, the incoming angle is the the angle at which the ball comes at the table.


What goes farther tennis ball baseball golf ball or ping pong ball?

Depends upon how much force is given when hit, kicked or thrown. The table tennis ball however has no mass to it at all, so it would travel the least distance no matter how much force was given at point of launch. A Golf ball can travel some 350 yards with the right angle and pro golfer.


What is the farthest distance a soccer ball has been kicked?

The furthest a soccer ball has been kicked is 80 meters or 262.46 feet!!!


Is it how hard you hit a golf ball to make it go the furthest?

No, its mostly Technique but power helps!


Why do you need spin on a golf ball in golf?

All clubs put backspin on the ball (unless you totally duff it). As the ball moves though the air with backspin lift is created. This is called the Magnus effect, it is similar to Bernoulli affect. The spinning creates a pressure differential and thus lift. As to whether or not a ball releases, checks, or spins back upon landing is dependent upon several variables: Spin rate upon landing, angle of decent, angle of the surface, ball velocity, hardness of the ground, and the coefficient of friction between the ball and the landing surface. ANSWER: Back spin on a golf ball causes the golf ball to spin backwards as it travels away from the person who hit the ball. Hitting a golf ball with a back spin will allow the golf ball to travel a great distance with a high arc. Setting a golf ball in motion with a back spin also will help to bring the ball to a stop when it hits the ground.
