MadSci Network: Engineering |
Cody, As it turns out, there is a specific angle that will always give a projectile a maximum distance. However, if I tell you this angle, you still will not have enough information for a 2-page report. To get started, why not do a WWW search on "projectile motion"? When a teacher gives an assignment like this, part of the goal is not just to get the answer, but also to learn how to do research. If you wish, when you think that you have found the angle, send me an e-mail, and I will verify it.
