Re: Ball Trajectory Planning

I've been doing some basic physics on shooting the ball with near-optimal trajectory (still working on the equation for optimal trajectory) and have found that in some situations, essentially a full-field shot, ball initial velocities will need to exceed 10 m/s without accounting for air resistance (or spin, for that matter). As such speeds, wouldn't air resistance come into play?

Honestly, I'm doing this for fun without expecting accuracy, but I'd love to get as accurate as possible.

Ether, if you happen to be around, I'd love to get your input on this problem, since you know pretty much everything.
