What is the optimum angle to throw a snowball for maximum horizontal displacement? (Ignore air resistance, assume the snowball is thrown level with the ground. The angle is measured from the ground up)

Shortest answer: 45 degrees Short Answer: If the snowball is thrown at velocity v, at angle θ The vertical component is vsin(θ) The horizontal component is vcos(θ) v = u + at t = v/a (u = 0) Airtime = 2vsin(...

y = (x^3)/3 - 4x^2 + 12x find the stationary points of the curve and determine their nature.

first we find the first derivative of the function. Here dy/dx = x^2-8x+12. We set this to zero and factorise to obtain the roots of the function. Such that dy/dx = (x-6)(x-2)= 0. This gives the stationary p...
