"The Long Shot" You probably know by now, from reading the book and from working the projectile motion problems, that the maximum range for a projectile is achieved when the projectile is fired at 45 degrees. This is true if the launch starts and ends at the same altitude. What about if you fire at a target at a lower elevation? Is the optimal angle still 45 degrees? Is it more? Less?
Please answer this in words, not equations, briefly explaining how you obtained your answer.
