Projectile Range

Question 1

What are 3 factors affecting optimal projection?

Answer 1

1. Height of release.
2. Projectile angle.
3. Velocity of release.

Question 2

Describe the height of release as a factor affecting optimal projection.

Answer 2

Is the position above the ground at which the individual releases the object. The height of the release will influence the angle required for a successful shot.

Question 3

Describe the projection angle as a factor affecting optimal projection.

Answer 3

Is the angle the athlete releases the ball. It determines the shape of the trajectory. The optimum angle of release depends on the activity.

Question 4

Describe the velocity of release as a factor affecting optimal projection.

Answer 4

The velocity at which the athlete releases the ball. The velocity of release will influence the trajectory of the ball.
