In the absence of air resistance, a projectile that lands at the elevation from which it was launched achieves maximum range when launched at a 45 angle. Suppose a projectile of mass m is launched with speed v0 into a headwind that exerts a constant, horizontal retarding force Fwind =Fwindi^. By what percentage is the maximum range of a 0.250 kg ball reduced if Fwind = 0.100 N?
