If an object is thrown at 45 degrees, is maximum distance achieved?

Question

If an object is thrown at 45 degrees, is maximum distance achieved?

Answer 1

Only if there is no air resistance.

Answer 2

The range is the maximum for 45 degree.


The range is the same for angles 45 + θ and for angle 45 – θ

It is less than that for the angle 45 degree.

Answer 3

given the same force and gravity, an object thrown at 45 degrees attains the farthest distance

Answer 4

Yes -- if you use a certain amount of force to throw an object, it will go farther at a 45 deg. angle than if you aim either higher or lower.

Answer 5

yes... the time taken for the flight is equal to 2v.sin(angle)/g where v is the initial velocity and g is the gravitational acceleration and angle is the angle at which the body is thrown.. now the range is equal to 2*v*v*sin(angle)*cos(angle)/g. if we differentiate this result to find the maxima of this curve we finally get an equation which implies that cos(angle) * cos(angle) = sin(angle) *sin(angle) which is only possible if the angle is equal to 45 degrees.. 1/sqrt(2) ...

Answer 6

yes. throw at a higher or lower angle and the object will land closer-different paths, of course, but closer nonetheless.

Answer 7

I would say not enough information.
\well you would have to consider wether you are dealing with a lil nerdy dweeb throwing that object at 45%, or a strong muscle man. Also what kind of object.....
but w/e
lol
♥
at least if made me think..lol

Answer 8

if angle is the only variable then yes.

Answer 9

yes!
