Simulate projectile motion with air resistance. A shuttlecock is launched from the ground with an initial speed of 39.1416 m/s at an angle of 9.3878 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The shuttlecock experiences air resistance with a drag coefficient of 0.2891 in an environment where the air density is 0.8282 kg/m3. If the shuttlecock has a radius of 3.4 cm and a mass of 5.2 grams, what is the maximum heightreached by the shuttlecock? Assume that the experiment is done near the surface of the earth.
