Letting the angle vary
On your own
Building on what we've done so far, you might try to solve the following problems.
What angle
will maximize the horizontal distance the projectile travels?
Suppose that the target is at the point
x
=30m and
y
=5m. Given the values
,
and
, what value of
should you use to hit the target?
