It’s a long fly ball to center field… in this episode, we take a look at projectiles. We identify some of the assumptions we can make about projectiles (1:13), and then we take a look at projectiles launched horizontally, (3:37) and we solve for the horizontal range (5:28). The episode then takes a look at a projectile launched at an angle and figures out where a basketball player should shoot from (7:22). We bring it on home by pointing out some nuances and fun facts about projectiles (9:54).
The Question of the Day asks: (11:30)
A projectile launched from level ground at an angle of 20 degrees will have the same range as a projectile with the same launch velocity at ___ degrees.
a) 80 b) 70 c) 60 d) 50
