We have a radar gun at home and we can measure the velocity of the baseball when it leaves a pitchers hand, or when it leaves the bat after contact. We can also roughly estimate the angle or trajectory of the ball. I am sure there are equations out there that involve takeoff velocity in conjunction with the angle of takeoff, and also air resistance equations. I'm hoping someone with the knowledge or info can help me out. Basically , want to know how far the ball will travel when I hit it 80miles per hour (ball of the bat speed) and I hit it at a 45 degree angle. Thanks...
