Problems Plus 5: Launch Angle of 56° maximizes TOTAL distance a projectile travels
Problems Plus 5: Launch Angle of 56° maximizes TOTAL distance a projectile travels
In this video, I show that firing a projectile has a maximum total distance traveled in the air when the launch angle is approximately 56°. This is 11° higher than the 45° angle needed to maximize the

Projectile aimed at a target downrange will always hit when dropped and fired at the same time!
In this video, I show that firing a projectile while aiming at a distance target downrange and dropping it at the same time will always cause the projectile to hit the target, provided that the projectile

Projectile aimed at a target downrange will always hit when dropped and fired at the same time!
The math checks out: aiming at a distant target and then firing a projectile at the same time as dropping the target will always hit!
