    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    Thanks a ton. I will spend time studying this and doing various tests over the next few days.

    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    I feel little overwhelmed with trying to learn an ODE or Mathematica. I'm a c coder trying to write a simple putting game for the iPhone, and thought there would be a simple equation for this since the one dimensional equation is trivial. Add a little lateral motion did not occur to me to be so...

    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    Thanks for the interest. Do you know of a website or tutorial that can guide me on this specific problem? Thanks.

    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    Bummer. You'd think this type of problem was much easier considering projectile motion without friction is so easy, and free body diagrams with friction are so easy in one dimension. If you happen to find a website that describes this situation, I'll be grateful if you post it here. Thanks for...

    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    Thanks for the helpful response. I found the following web link showing the parametric equations for projectile motion with linear drag. http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/stcs/courses/dynamics/handouts/handout3.pdf I guess this would be the non linear equations you are referring too? I agree...

    Putting a golfball on a plane, but not directly up or down the plane

    I’m trying to figure out what may be very simple but I can’t find any examples online or in Physics books. The goal is to determine the final location of a ball (golfball) rolling on an inclined plane (putting green). I know a putting green is very curved, but I’m trying to solve a simple case...
