When an object is given an initial velocity and is affected by gravitational acceleration and air resistance, it follows a specific path known as projectile motion. Athletes often perform this type of ...

We calculate the average speed of a projectile in the absence of air resistance, a quantity that is missing from the treatment of the problem in the literature. We then show that this quantity is ...

Air resistance models attempt to model more realistic projectile behavior when the force of contact with the air contributes appreciably to the motion. While there are many specific air resistance ...
