Beyond the introduction of the spider line it is unnecessary to mention the various steps by which the Gascoigne micrometer assumed the modern forms now in use, or to describe in detail the suggestions of Hooke, 4 Wren, Smeaton, Cassini, Bradley, Maskelyne, Herschel, Arago, Pearson, Bessel, Struve, Dawes, &c., or the successive productions of the great artists Ramsden, Troughton, Fraunhofer, Ertel, Simms, Cooke, Grubb, Clarke and Repsold.
It depends if you're going for a long shot with power or a short shot with power. I'm going to assume you're going for the long shots. Take about 5 steps back at a 7 o clock aâ¦ngle to the ball. Take 3 quick, tiny steps then take a really fast run up.
You can see from the equation above that the distance traveled by the ball will be greatest when sin(2Î¸) is greatest. The sine function reaches its largest output value, 1, with an input angle of 90 degrees, so we can see that for the longest-range punts 2Î¸ = 90 degrees and, therefore, Î¸ = 45 degrees. A projectile, in other words, travels the farthest when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees. But what about trying to maximize a projectile's height to increase hang time? In a parabola the peak height attained by a projectile is equal to (sin(Î¸))Â² X vÂ²/2g.
