Homework Statement
A football punter can punt a maximum range of 40.8 m. If he instead wants to punt only 34.6 m, but maximize the time the ball is in the air, at what angle from the horizontal should he kick the ball, and how long will it stay in the air if he hits it perfectly? (neglect air resistance) Assume he can kick the ball with the same force every time.
Homework Equations
- R = (u2sin 2θ) / g
- Rmax = u2/g
The Attempt at a Solution
