The angle in which a cricket ball should be hit to travel maximum horizontal distance is : (1) 60° with horizontal (2) 45° with horizontal (3) 30° with horizontal (4) 15° with horizontal
(2) 45° with horizontal Explanation: This has to do with the equation of a parabola or trajectory which is z = (tane)x 2 cos 9) 2. We can see that if the ball is fired at a 45 degree angle from the ground, the horizontal distance will be a maximum.
