As it rises and falls, air resistance has a negligible effect. The distance traveled horizontally from the launch position to the landing position is known as the range. The range of an angled-launch projectile depends upon the launch speed and the launch angle (angle between the launch direction and the horizontal).

An object launched into projectile motion will have an initial launch angle anywhere from 0 to 90 degrees. The range of an object, given the initial launch angle and initial velocity is found with: R=v2isin2θig R = v i 2 sin ⁡ 2 θ i g .

angle of release (angle of projection; angle of take-off) The angle, relative to the ground, at which a body is projected into the air. The angle of release is an important factor affecting the flight path of a projectile.

between 32º and 36º

We use angles every day – to build ramps and slides, steer a car, shoot basketballs, throw baseballs, and kick soccer balls. In fact, the science of angles is in almost every sport we play and every movement we make.

Angles are important to defining and studying polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals. They are used in a variety of disciplines, ranging from animation to carpentry to physics.

: any pair of angles each of which is on the same side of one of two lines cut by a transversal and on the same side of the transversal.

When shooting from behind the free throw line, a smaller angle is necessary to get the ball through the hoop. However, when making a field throw, a larger angle is called for. When a defender is trying to block the shot, a higher shot is necessary. In this case, the elbows should be as close to the face as possible.

Curry’s release was timed at . 4 seconds by Sports Science (average NBA release time is . 54 seconds). That means Curry’s ball travels 12′ in the air before the average NBA player ever gets the ball out of his hand …
