A javelin is a long pole approximately 2 meters long used in the javelin field event of Track and Field. Javelin makes and models vary in terms of weighting, weight distribution and material composition, but most standard javelins are made of aluminum, steel or carbon. At its approximate center of gravity, a length of cord is wrapped around the shaft to create a grip for the thrower. The thickness of a javelin tapers at both ends, coming to a silver point at its head and a thinner, less pointed (yet still relatively sharp) end at its tail. Painted designs and emblems vary depending on the design and maker of the implement.

What is the correct angle of throwing a javelin?
The correct angle of throwing a javelin is 45 degree.The physics concept behind this is known as impulse.According to this law if an object is thrown at an angle of 45 degree it travels much range(horizontal distance) than throwing at any other angle this law not only applies for javelin but also for firing an cannon or shooting a gun on an arrow into the space.
