Homework 3 As you know very well from physics, if you hit a ball forward with a certain angle and a certain speed, it makes an orbital movement. The height of the ball is determined by the equation given below. y(t)=y_0+v_y0 t-1/2 gt^2 Where y0 is the first location of the ball, vy0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball and g is the gravitational acceleration. After the ball is thrown, the horizontal distance is determined by the following...
