I have a few questions about it, is H perpendicular to the path of the ball? and is X the axis along which the ball travels? X^2+Y^2+Z^2 = B^2 (X+H)^2 + (VT-L+Y)^2 = R^2 Z = gT2/2 - B where does the first eqn originate from? the second one is the eqn of the ball, yes? but view in which cross...

i would like to, but can't until i have 10 posts :(

i like that idea. plus, he might have done something to dishonor somebody and felt the need to remove himself from the taliban, and suicide would be too honorable?

thats pretty impressive, considering there must be organic deformties inside the egg itself!

but you can distort the field with a ferromagnet, yes? that can do it to some effect

my current method to attack this problem is to analyse it from the reference frame across the top of the cylinder, i.e on the golf green. i can calculate the flight path, and then figure out the cross section of the sphere in the plane over the top of the cylinder, and figure out where it...

@mfb are you meaning to say simulate the golf ball as a sphere? the problem is that although the balls flight is restricted to 2 dimensions, it could contact the hole outside of these 2 dimensions. @A.T wow... i had not thought of that before... that's so COOL! from both of you I'm getting the...

hi there, I have been working on this particular problem for some weeks?months? now, and it has me quite stumped. I need to calculate the x,y,z co-ords of a golf ball after it has been putted into a hole, when it contacts the opposite rim, assuming it is traveling fast enough to contact the...
