Re: Throwning the ball over the over Pass
Cd = 0.1 for Reynolds number ~666k (10m/s)

Turn CD into a Force at velocity x by using info from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient

Extra credit

Integrate air drag loss to peak of trajectory and you get an idea of how many joules extra kick to give it vs doing this in a vacuum.
