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.

How does the angle affect how far a rocket goes?

The angle at which a rocket is launched affects how far it will go because it determines the balance between vertical and horizontal velocity components. An optimal angle allows the rocket to reach the furthest distance before gravity causes it to descend. Launching too steep or too shallow can cause the rocket to travel a shorter distance.


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.


Why does a 45 degree throw go the furthest?

A 45-degree throw maximizes the horizontal distance traveled by balancing the vertical and horizontal components of the projectile's velocity. At this angle, the horizontal component is at its maximum, maximizing the range the object can travel before hitting the ground. Any angle higher or lower will result in a shorter distance traveled.


Shoot a 30 30 bullet straight up how far does it go?

When a .30-30 bullet is shot straight up in the air, it can reach an altitude of around 1 to 2 miles before losing momentum and falling back to the ground. The actual height depends on factors such as the angle of the shot, the bullet weight, and environmental conditions.


If you shoot a rubber band how far will it go?

It depends on the rubber band if is a small rubber band then it will go about 20'and if it is an bigger rubber band then it will go about 35' but it depends on the rubber band and the way you shoot the rubber band

Why does a 45 degree angle shot go farther than 90 or 0 degree angle shots?

45 Degrees is exactly between 90 and 0 degrees so it is the maximim shot. If you shoot something 90 degrees it would go straight up. If you shoot somthing 0 degrees it hits the ground fastest because of gravity. But the 45 degree angle allows for the most lift and distance for an object to travel.

How come scientists tells us that the optimal release angle is a certain number?

The optimal release angle is 45 degrees from the horizontal because an object launched at that angle goes the furthest distance in comparison to other launch angles. Of course, the distance to your target will determine what the actual optimal launch angle should be. Launch angles above and below 45 degrees will cause the object that is launched to go a smaller distance.

Behind green in sand bunker hit shot into water in front of green were do you place the ball?

You would have to drop the ball one club length from the hazard boundary on the side of the water furthest from the green, because you can not go nearer the hole.


Differentiate Angle of reflection from angle of incidence?

The 'normal' direction is the direction perpendicular to a surface. Think of a stick with one end of it glued to a mirror. When a beam of light or a tennis ball hits the surface, the 'angle of incidence' is the angle between the normal and the direction the ball came from. The 'angle of reflection' is the angle between the normal and the direction the ball will take after the bounce. The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence. Knowing this, you can always place your bank shot exactly where you want it to go after the bounce.
