Simple analytical algorithm for constructing the envelope of the projectile trajectories in midair

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5

Abstract

A classic problem of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon is studied. The air drag force is taken into account asthe quadratic resistance law.An analytic approach is used for the investigation. Simple analytical formulae are used for constructing the envelope of the family of the projectile trajectories. The equation of envelope is applied for the determination of the maximum range of flight. The motion of a baseball is presented as an example.
