    Does Bouncing a Baseball Help It Travel Faster?

    I'm working on projectile motion problem and it is a two-fold problem about throwing a baseball from outfield to home plate. The theory is that the ball arrives faster if thrown on a bounce. "Suppose that after the bounce the ball rebounds at the same angle theta as it had when initially...

    In Preparation of 1st Physics Exam

    To date the trig used in class has been very simple soh-cah-toa of right angle triangle solving for a leg of the triangle or for theta. I have had no trouble with these type of calculations. I'm sure we'll be getting into some higher trig calculations as we go forward. My biggest problem...

    Trouble Setting Up Projectile Motion

    Problem: A football is kicked from 36.0 m away from goal post at an angle of 53.0 deg. above horizontal at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The crossbar is at a height of 3.05 m high. a.) By how far does the ball clear or fall short of the crossbar? b.) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still...
