Document Summary

Air resistance: air resistance exists in the real world. It creates a drag force against the projectile related to speed squared. Maximizing height: our body segments can be rearranged for maximum height, lower centre of mass, more height. For the same horizontal takeoff component, start from higher to get a greater horizontal distance. For the same takeoff height, a faster horizontal component will give a larger horizontal distance: the closer the angle to 45, the father you will go, for long jump, sweet spot it between 18 and 23 degrees. Accuracy and margin of error: approach direction will change the margin of error.
