- Purpose of use
- I wanted to see how high a super punt was from an NFL game, and could see in the video how far the ball traveled (62 yards, 5.22 seconds in the air!). This has told me that the ball flew up to 109.58 ft, not quite outside of the stadium though (it was in Arrowhead Stadium, architectural height of 260 ft) Thank you for making my rabbit hole side quest easier to complete :)

- Purpose of use
- Calculating initial velocity and launch angle for a football punter from game film to help fine tune practice goals. Confirmed initial assessment that ball was being kicked at too high a launch angle and was losing potential distance.

- Purpose of use
- Attempting to demonstrate how bad an idea jumping high enough to land six seconds later is.
- Comment/Request
- Would be helpful to include drag or air resistance.

- Comment/Request
- where does the 8 in the denominator of the height equation come from? Besides that, very helpful with good equations.
- from Keisan
- We have added another formula in h.

- Comment/Request
- This is completely not accurate.
A baseball hit at 103 mph at 28.3* above the horizantle will travel about 403 feet with an average apex of 91ft high.
Your equations are correct, but not applied properly. A good source of comparison is hittrackeronline.com . Even given the relations between humidity, temperature, ball rotation, etc. you are not even close. AN example of the error: you cannot hit a baseball only 45MPH at 70* and expect it to go 450feet.
