Notes on Projectile MotionIf we throw a ball at angle to the horizon randomly, what is the expected length of the trajectory? Catalan's constant appears in the answer. We are also interested in the expected average speed of the ball.
[ 40], by assuming all parameters other than those associated with the rolling motion of the body to be invariant. It was found that canards should be designed so the produced roll moment is as small as possible. During the period in which the roll angle is adjusted, it was found that...
