Football

I was playing catch with a football on the football field and thought about the best angle to throw football. I found that when I threw the football at 45 degrees it travelled the farthest distance. Whenever an object is in the air, neglecting air resistance, the object will fall towards the earth at 9.81 m/s. Launching an object straight up in the air will keep it in the air for the longest time but it wont travel any horizontal distance. Also throwing the ball at 0 degrees above the horizontal wont let the football travel any horizontal distance. The maximum horizontal distance will be at 45 degrees because the football will stay in the air for a good portion of time, while also traveling horizontally.
