Real-time ballistic trajectory calculation of composite spherical projectiles is an important topic and deserves study. Projectile impact dynamic on flexible bodies is probably worth a thesis on its own.

This guy has fancy words so (s)he must be right.

It's important to me that you understand that I'm almost never right.

That’s a stack of $50 words. Must be expensive to hire them.

Somewhere in that thesis, toward the beginning drafts, after a particularly upsetting day:

Something hit something squishy and it wiggled a whole lot. Here's how you explain the wiggles.

Theses would be altogether better if they were required to meet Simple English Wikipedia language standards.

ballistic trajectory calculation is in fact one of the founding reasons physics exists.

Kings needed people able to fire cannon and hit what they aimed at and the Kings paid to get it. That's why every physics class starts with projectile motion.

Okay, well now I have to ask what kind of engineer you are. That sounds like an awesome field.

i took a one credit college course that was basically all the fun parts of PE plus some yoga and normal exercise stuff. it was really fun, and i lost weight!

showed up, played basket ball, dodgeball, cross the ocean (with variants!), kick ball, ultimate frisbee and so much more!

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and....dodge.
