Through this project we have learned that calculus can be applied to real world problems such as a baseball game.

We found out that in order to find how fast a ball is moving, distances etc. we have to use calculus and physics combined.

This knowledge can help baseball players figure out how much force that they need to exert on the ball to reach the place where they want the ball to go.
