Question 34

Velocity of Release

Answer 34

Increasing the velocity of release, increase the height of the flight path. Increases overall distance

Question 35

Height of release

Answer 35

The higher the release will generate greater distances if angle and velocity of release is the same
Lowering and elevating will change the overall distance of the projectile

Self Confidence

Answer 36

Belief that you can successfully perform a task

expectation of success, successful performance, boosts self confidence
