QuoteClark, you always seem to have good info. Not saying this isn't. But the faster a sphere is launched thing isn't making sense to me. Say you have a base ball. Throw it 20 miles an hour, another thrown 90 miles an hour. The 90 mile an hour ball is sure to go farther, hit harder. It might shed velocity percentage wise, I'm still not sure why but I'm keeping an open mind since your posts are usually spot on. Just can't see how 200 feet per second more could slow down n wait up for slower spheres.
Btw I'm not a fan of extreme speed, just trying to get what you're saying

It's all a matter of physics. "Atmospheric drag" slows the sphere that is launched at the faster speed more than the sphere that is launched at the slower speed.
You can do some research on it but here's an article that discusses it in part https://books.google.com/books?id=UjkXVB9c9DgC&pg=PA108&lpg=PA108&dq=The+faster+a+sphere+is+launched+the+faster+it+slows&source=bl&ots=VMOq_0zX06&sig=SXqM4q78vA1zMVIbmRS9GiimgtA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiM0funivLRAhUF1CYKHc3TCd8Q6AEIIDAB#v=onepage&q=The%20faster%20a%20sphere%20is%20launched%20the%20faster%20it%20slows&f=false

Thanks,

For some reason it won't open. It's interesting though

Guess it sorta does make sense once I read up some. I understand bc on a rifle bullet n the way it effects Bullet flight. Never realized it'd also effect round shot but some animated stuff I saw made sense. Thanks again Clark

I understand. It's an odd concept and that information is not widely circulated.

Thanks,
