Physics - Mechanics - Kinematics - Projectile motion - Launch Angle Challenge

Show a cannon and ask students to guess: 'At what angle should you launch a ball to get the MAXIMUM range (horizontal distance)?' Options: 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°. Then show the ball launching at each angle with a trajectory trace. Reveal that 45° gives maximum range (for same initial speed, ignorin
