Homework Statement


How should the thrower adjust the angles of launch if he is throwing the object into a velocity of 40 m/s wind?

The Attempt at a Solution


I really have no idea. Personally, I think throwing the object at a lower angle would help throwing it further, because the wind force is usually high up there?

How does the wind affect the horizontal component of the object's velocity?
 
I don't know. I am a new nerd to Physics.
