| Abstrakt: | The article "Comment on 'Optimizing the Launch of a Projectile to Hit a Target'" by Carl E. Mungan presents a physics problem involving teenagers throwing pebbles at a spy hole in a castle wall. The problem seeks to determine the minimum launch speed and angle needed to hit the target. The solution involves mathematical equations and references to previous works that offer alternative approaches to similar projectile motion problems. Additionally, the article discusses the concept of the envelope of projectile motion in a uniform gravitational field. [Extracted from the article] |
