Hey,
I'm trying to model the motion of a batted ball (the pitch, collision and the hit). However, I'm including air resistance and drag, which makes it that much more difficult. I was wondering if there's anyone that would be willing to help get my MATLAB files to run properly and maybe check the equations I have.
Thanks
