Maximising the arc length of a trajectory
Deriving an expression for the arc length of the trajectory of a projectile experiencing no drag. We then find the launch angle that maximises this length and try to build some physical intuition for the result.

During my PhD, I also spent four years teaching Physics undergraduates at the university. Now, I'm working as a private tutor, teaching Physics & Maths up to A Level standard.
