Paso 1: Determinar el ángulo para la distancia más corta
  • La distancia horizontal de un proyectil es máxima a \(45^{\circ}\).
  • Para la distancia más corta, se debe elegir el ángulo más pequeño.
  • Por lo tanto, el ángulo de \(15^{\circ}\) resultará en la distancia más corta.
Paso 2: Determinar el ángulo para el menor tiempo en el aire
  • El tiempo de vuelo de un proyectil depende de su componente vertical de velocidad.
  • Un ángulo más pequeño significa una menor componente vertical.
  • Por lo tanto, el ángulo de \(15^{\circ}\) resultará en el menor tiempo en el aire.
Paso 3: Determinar el ángulo para la mayor velocidad vertical
  • La componente vertical de la velocidad inicial es \(v_0 \sin(\theta)\).
  • Para maximizar esta componente, se debe maximizar \(\sin(\theta)\).
  • \(\sin(75^{\circ})\) es mayor que \(\sin(45^{\circ})\) y \(\sin(15^{\circ})\).
  • Por lo tanto, el ángulo de \(75^{\circ}\) dará la mayor velocidad vertical.
