Explore the physics behind football throws and discover the optimal launch angle for maximum range in this 33-minute video. Learn how gravitational force affects projectile motion and why a 45-degree angle is ideal in a vacuum. Delve into the complexities of real-world scenarios by examining the impact of air drag on football trajectories. Utilize Python programming to create a model that determines the maximum angle when accounting for both gravitational and air drag forces. Access the provided code to experiment with the model and gain hands-on experience in applying physics concepts to sports analysis.
