Re: paper: 2014 HOT Tech Notes


FWIW: Using the launch numbers in your paper:
28.5 ft/sec launch speed
46.8 degrees launch elevation angle
3.69 ft launch height
... and running an air-drag simulation assuming a 37.5 ft/sec terminal velocity for the ball resulted in very nearly the same ball height at 12.5 feet from the launcher.
