Without air resistance, you have straight projectile motion ... Here is a plot for the trajectory of two balls. One has an air resistance force, and the other does not. Well, ...

So, clearly, air resistance matters. In order to get the ball into the hoop, a player would have to increase the launch speed from 17.7 meters per second to 22.5. That's fast: 22.5 m/s is about 50 ...

If you neglect external forces like wind, air resistance, or any other terrestrial objects, ... enabling a projectile's true trajectory — an ellipse — to be revealed.

How a soccer video game finally got air resistance right. ... After an intense audit of all the projectile physics code in the game, ... which affects the speed and trajectory of an object in flight.

WE are told in the Preface to this work that “the consideration of the motion of a projectile naturally divides itself into three parts—first, its motion in the bore of the gun; second, its ...
