You kick a ball over a flat field. Taking into account gravity, but disregarding everything else like wind, friction, bounces, etc., etc., at what angle should you kick it so the ball lands the farthest away from you? And at what angle should you kick it so the ball makes the longest trajectory before landing?

The solution to both problems is 45 degrees.It seems too easy.The only alternetive is 45 and 89.999999999999999999
