In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot withan initial speed of 13.6 m/sm/s at a 40.0 ∘∘ angle from thehorizontal. The shot leaves her hand at a height of 1.80 mm abovethe ground. (Figure 1)
1. How far does the shot travel horizontally before striking theground when shot with initial angle 40.0 ∘∘ ?
2. Repeat the calculation of the first part for angle 42.5 ∘
3. Repeat the calculation of the first part for angle 45.0 ∘
4. Repeat the calculation of the first part for angle 47.5 ∘
5. With what angle of release does she throw the farthest?
