Question

The motion of a projectile may be described in terms of range and the maximum height it reaches. But what affects these kinematic quantities? Below is a figure of the height and range covered by a projectile launched bat the same initial velocity but at different angles.

Questions:

1. How do you describe the height reached by the projectile at different projection angles?

2. At what angle does it reach the highest? the lowest?

3. Does  the projection angle affect the maximum height reached? Why do you say so?

4. How do you describe the range covered by the projectile at different projection angles?

5. At what angle/s does it reach the farthest? the nearest?

6. What angles cover the same range? What do you call these angles?

7. Does the projection angle affect the range covered? Explain briefly.
