Abstract
A classic problem of the motion of a projectile thrown at an angle to the horizon in a medium with a quadratic resistance law is studied. An approximate analytical solution of the equations of projectile motion is presented, which has a high accuracy. The proposed formulas are universal, that is, they can be used for any initial conditions of throwing over a wide range of the change of medium resistance coefficient. The motion of a shuttlecock of badminton, bullet, table tennis ball and volleyball are presented as examples.
