No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.
5 feet
-- the initial horizontal speed of the projectile -- the time it remains in flight before it hits the ground
Its either reality based (vertical is up-down, horizontal is ground distance) or it's purely arbitrary.

From its starting position all the way to the ground. :)
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
You cannot because you do not know how long before the object falls to the ground and so stops moving.
9.4 yards i think
Smaller angles will result in a larger horizontal velocity and smaller vertical velocity. The times of flight will also be shorter since it's closer to the ground. Larger angles have a larger vertical velocity and smaller horizontal velocity. Time of flight will be much longer since it is higher above the ground. As for distance, 45 degrees will result in the greatest distance and for every distance before the furthest one there is an angle above 45 degrees and an angle below 45 degrees that will result in that distance.
Horizontal markings are markings (such as painted or etched lines) that are horizontal (or parallel to the ground).
