wont it involve angle the and how powerful the object is thrown ?
of coz but like i mentioned, assume ur launch angle and velocity is constant (assuming at 30 degree and velocity at 7m/s)..
the principle behind this theory is to show that heavier object will tend to land further than light object (assuming both speed and launch angle is similar)..
however do bear in mind that, in actual race track, at times u might wan the car to land further and sumtimes lands nearer..
as per szng illustration, it shows that the object is at certain height (x meter) but velocity at zero.. it does not consist of the launching factor...
I have another picture below.. blue = 1kg, red = 2kg, green = 3kg.. all launch at 45 degree which is 15 degree higher than previous illustration.. yet, it still shows that lighter object tend to land nearer than heavier object..
Disclaimer: whether it works on mini4wd or not, u have to experience it..
cheers..
