    Three factors influence the horizontal distance of a projectile's motion at launch: speed of release, angle of release, and height of release. The greater the speed or higher the height, the further the distance, while an optimal angle of release is 45 degrees. Once in the air, gravity and air resistance affect the projectile's parabolic trajectory.

    PROJECTILE MOTION Three things influence an objects projectile motion at the beginning of its flight: SPEED OF RELEASE The

    greater the speed, the further the horizontal distance.


    Discuss Javelin throw

    ANGLE OF RELEASE The optimal angle of release for most projectiles is 45 degs, if trying for distance.

    HEIGHT OF RELEASE The higher the height of release, the further the horizontal distance.
    Look at figure 6.17 Page 86 Sherriff

    Once an object is in the air, two things will influence its movement and direction; GRAVITY and AIR RESISTANCE. The path a projectile takes, travelling through the air is called a trajectory or parabola. Refer figure 6.17 Question: How would you coach a player who wanted to improve the horizontal distance they could get from the following sports, knowing what you know, about projectile motion? Explain in detail why you are getting them to do what ever it is they are doing. Volleyball serve, tennis serve, golf swing, hockey stroke, rugby pass, running.
