Re: Physics/ Math people

This isn't so much a physics question as it is a testing question. We built a kicker that could vary its height, point of connection on the ball, force applied, and weight of the kicker. Basically we found for our kicker that a length of about 16 inches was the optimal length and more Latex was roughly directly proportional to kick distance and weight had little effect on the distance of the kick.
