For slow throwers, yes. To test, if you throw horizontal and it hits the water about 6 times out further than the height of the throw, then that is the right strategy. If it is going further than that, or if you know you throw hard, you need to angle it down more on the throw.
11:27 its just the range formula for a projectile with theta = 45 degrees
R = u^2sin2theta/g
This breaks down once you start throwing the rocks into orbit.
I was really looking forward to this I have a cat under my blanket and a new math video today will be amazing
Hope you enjoyed it!
the graphic at 4:17 has a mistake, x,y are swapped
(x²/10)+2?
So basically, conventional advice about throwing rocks is correct then. Low and parallel

Video about the probability of being first to comment on a TH-cam Video?
Ouhh, nice topic
It's 50%. You either do or don't.
