How does force and mass affect distance a pie travels? Based on my experiment if you ever need to throw a pie a great distance you will want to position your catapult or arm at 0 degrees and pick a pie that is .015 kg and watch it fly!

Interesting experiment. I look forward to future experiments. Tartaglia showed that a medium angle was best, but your conclusion does not support this. Why?
