Which of the given angle will have the farthest range when a projectile is launched?
A
75o
B
60o
C
45o
D
15o
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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 2 = 90 degrees and, therefore, = 45 degrees. A projectile, in other words, travels the farthest when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Assuming that the ball was thrown with a velocity of 8.2 m/s and an angle of 45°, the projectile range is 8.48 m.

Detailed explanation-3: - = angle at which an object is thrown from the ground. Maximum Range: It is the longest distance covered by the object during projectile motion. When the angle of projection is 45°, the maximum range is obtained.

Detailed explanation-4: -The textbooks say that the maximum range for projectile motion (with no air resistance) is 45 degrees.

Detailed explanation-5: -45 degrees means that the object has more time in the air but the horizontal component of the launch speed is lower so there is less horizontal displacement.
