PROJECT TITLE:
To determine the ideal angle at which Penelope, a national volleyball player, needs to serve the ball in order to obtain the distance that it needs to go over the net but stay in the court y applying the theory of projectile motion.

AIM:
To determine the ideal angle and distance needed for a volleyball ball to be served over the net within the dimension of the court using projectile motion.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Penelope is a national volleyball player and she wants to know the angle at which she needs to serve the volleyball in order to get the ball over the net but also in the court every time she serves. In order to do so, she sets up a projectile launcher and she shot a ball (projectile) at different angles and found the angle at which the ball went a midway distance. From this data, she also found the projectile’s distance for the ideal launching angle.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOLLEYBALL
The overall measurement for a volleyball court is 60 feet by 30 feet. Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size. A center line is marked at

Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size. A center line is marked at the center of the court dividing it equally into 30 feet squares. The net is hung directly above the center line at 7 feet 4 inches for women and 8 feet for men. In this case it’s for women.
