to attain the maximum range, a projectile has to be launched at 45 degrees above the horizontal if the landing spot and the launch spot are at the same height (neglecting air resistance effects.) Explain why raising the angle above 45 reduces the range. Then explain why lowering the angle below 45 also reduces the range.
