    Cube Projectile Motion: Air Resistance & Cross Sectional Area

    Basically, I'm wondering if it's possible to predict the orientation of a cube as it flies through the air. Based on the responses, it seems as though there are too many variables for such as predictive function to exist without producing inaccurate results. Thank you for the link though! Very...

    Cube Projectile Motion: Air Resistance & Cross Sectional Area

    We have a solid cube with some mass that we fire as a projectile at some angle. The cube is launched in such a way that two of the faces are perpendicular to the initial velocity vector. Assuming there is air resistance, would the cube change its orientation while it flies, even if the mass is...
