Well, I wasn't sure if 'apogee' was a typo or not but as best I can figure you mean the farthest distance from the earth? If that's correct, then 50.

Starting point would be 0,0(pt.A), peak of the curve would be 50,50(pt.B) and the end point would be 100,0(pt.C). As far as calculations go, I'm not sure. Because I don't have the force/angle I need to work back from the peak/range. I just don't know how to do that.

I have a general understanding of Calculus and Newtons three laws. Maybe if I restate my question. I've been trying to understand the calculations on my own but I'm having difficulty. I have the x,y(pt.A) starting coordinates and I have the peak x,y(pt.B) coordinates. Because resistance is...

This question is related to my topic but along a different line. What is the equation used to calculate the angle/velocity if you are given the starting x,y position and the x,y coordinates of the peak of the curve? Is there even a formula for that? Or would you need to know the time it...

And no, I don't know what sin(theta) is.

No, not real. Simple flash game. The user is given a random position on the court and then shoots at the net. The only thing the user controls is the angle and power(velocity). All shots go directly at the basket, its just a matter of whether you under or over throw the basket. Heh, or...

Not homework. I'm building a very basic basketball game that requires 3 sets of x,y coordinates: start/peak/end. Neglecting air resistance the horizontal distance would be...half the total distance? Head slap...more like head meet wall. If this is right. I haven't done any physics since...

I need to figure out how far an object has traveled at a given time. For example purposes the object will be thrown with a velocity of 30 m/s and at an angle of 30 degrees. I've figured out the distance/peak height/peak time/time of flight but I don't quite understand how to figure out the...
