Representative results from steps 1 and 2 of the above procedure are listed below in Table 1. This table records the maximum height the ball reached in both 1 and 2 dimensions, with a known initial velocity and total flight time. The value of the experimentally measured maximum vertical displacement is compared to that calculated using Equation 15, the value of which is also found below. The table also records the maximum horizontal displacement of the ba

Kinematics is used in a wide range of applications. The military uses these kinematic equations to determine the best way to launch ballistics. For better accuracy, the drag of air resistance is included in the equations. Car manufactures use kinematics to figure out top speeds and stopping distances. In order to take off,airplanes must attain a certain speed before they run out of runway. With kinematics,it is possible compute how fast the pilot will need to accelerate when taking off at a certain airport.
