Projectile path under gravity & air resistance SOLVED

[salmo]

The problem of calculating exactly the path of a projectile under gravity and subject to air resistance has stumped mathematitions for over 300 years. Working on a school project, Shouryya Ray has solved this problem,
first posed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century.

This ones gonna make raaaid feel sick......

[raaaid]

oh come on i want to see the solution

actually i think it makes no difference the projectile is flat flying horizontally or cylindrical in what sustentation refers

edit:

hey we should start nagging so clod includes this algorithm

edit:

and how do you know it makes me sick i dont even know myself why it makes me sick

maybe if it was a way to make petrol from stones it wouldnt

edit:

what i cant figure out its why it was imposible to solve

you apply parabolic shot and air friction=k*h*v where k depends on the shape of the object and h on the air viscosity, you also take into account buoyancy

(edit: you should apply also a dynamic sustentation factor )

you know the media is a bunch of lies some months ago i heard that a guy had climbed the everest in winter like in 2011 for the 1st time ever, probably this was an exception and be truth

this proves that news are made up by several guys i a room making storm of ideas

edit:

the irony of this new is that the objective of the creation of science was to calculate the path of projectiles and how to aim them

so a 16 years old has fullfilled the initial objective of science

and my dads solves fermats theorem with fermats maths and is mostly ignored
