At angle 45 degree. Every degree increase from 0 up to 45 approaches the maximum distance that something can be thrown. Every degree from 45 to 90 decreases the distance.

Does a 10lb catapult launch further than a 3lb one?

Usually yes...but it depends on the angle of trajectory, weight and aerodynamics of the thing being catapulted, the length of the "arm" of the catapult, and the amount of force that the catapult is set to hurl the object. Example: a feather on the 10lb catapult which is set at a high trajectory and a low force will go almost nowhere while a stone from a 3 pound catapult will go much farther if it is set on a perfect trajectory and maximum force.


How do you find the maximum range and height for angles 30 45 and 60?

1. You need to know the velocity of the projectile (V0) 2. The expressions for the range and height assume no air resistance (in vacuum) 3. The units must be consistent e.g. metres and g = 9.81 m/s2 Range in metres for 30 degree launch angle = sin 60 x V02 / 9.81 Range in metres for 45 degree launch angle = sin 90 x V02 / 9.81 Range in metres for 60 degree launch angle = sin 120 x V02 / 9.81 Max. height in metres for 30 degree launch angle = (V0 x sin 30)2 / 2g Max. height in metres for 45 degree launch angle = (V0 x sin 45)2 / 2g Max. height in metres for 60 degree launch angle = (V0 x sin 60)2 / 2g 2g is of course 9.81 x 2 = 19.62 m/s2 For interest, at 45 degree launch angle the max. height is 25% of the range.


At what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half of its maximum possible range?

The half maximum range of a projectile is launched at an angle of 15 degree


How do you use the word projectile in a sentence?

Oh, dude, using the word "projectile" is like shooting a marshmallow out of a homemade catapult. You could say, "I accidentally launched a projectile at my friend while playing with my slingshot." Just make sure your friend forgives you before you launch any more projectiles their way.


Is launch an adverb?

"Launch" is not an adverb, no.The word "launch" is a verb ("we will launch it into the air") and sometimes a noun ("the launch pad is broken").
