I know Im not the only one who likes to throw coins into the koi fish pond at ala moana. Walking around the mall gets tiring and as I was sitting on the bench of the second floor shops when I see this little boy make a wish and throw his coin into the pond below. Seeing this I thought of projectile motions. If I wanted to find the height at which the second floor from which he was throwing it at of I would need to know the angle in which he throws it and it's velocity. With this information I can plug and chug into a combination of trigonometric, acceleration, and distance equations.
