Q4M1WS2
WORKSHEET #2 - ANGLE OF RELEASE
1. Does the angle affect the height and range of a projectile?
a. No, the launch angle has no effect on the height or range of a projectile
b. Yes, the launch angle of a projectile affects both its height and range.
2. What happens to the height and range of a projectile when you release it with an angle of
release of 46° or higher.
a. The height increases, and the range decreases.
b. The height decreases, and the range increases.
3. How about when you release a projectile with an angle of release of 45° or lower, what
will happen to the height and range?
a. The height increases, and the range decreases.
b. The height decreases, and the range increases.
4. - 5. What happens to the height and range of a projectile when you release it with
complementary angles of release?
a. Same height, but different range.
b. Different height, but same range.
ACTIVITY 3 - WHICH IS BETTER? (10 ITEMS)
Directions: Answer the questions that is relating the angle of release to sports by
choosing the correct answer from the statements provided. Write the letter only.
1. Is it wise for basketball players to have a lower arc in
their shot? Why?
a. Yes, to shoot higher and have lower chance of
being blocked.
b. No, to shoot quicker.
2. For a volleyball player serving the ball. which is
better? To serve closer or higher than the net?
a. Higher than the net, because this allows for
greater control, and placement.
b. Closer to the net, because for a more powerful
and direct serve but increases the risk of serving
errors.
