    The angle in which a cricket ball should be hit to

    travel maximum horizontal distance is :
    A 60° with horizontal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 45° with horizontal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30° with horizontal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15° with horizontal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This has to do with the equation of a parabola or trajectory which is z = (tane)x 2 cos 9) 2. We can see that if the ball is fired at a 45 degree angle from the ground, the horizontal distance will be a maximum.
