another debate......

For all those that got so wound up over the plane thread.... this is for you guys...

and no kasey, no "f the plane"

ok, i first brought this up the other day to a few board members while working on another members car... and i loved the looks i got so i decided to bring it on here...

You are given a tennis ball launcher, capable of a consistant muzzle velocity of 55mph. The launcher is mounted facing rearward in the bed of a small truck. The truck now drives down the road and sets the cruise control at exactly 55mph. There is a line painted across the road further down, and as the rear bumper of the truck finally crosses that line, the tennis ball launcer is fired. Does the ball land on the line? For all intents and purposes, we will NOT factor in wind and/or air resistance.

...now GO... lol
