Kinematics

What makes it possible to load a pumpkin in a catapult and launch it across a corn field? How do battleships know where they are shooting? How is it possible to put a rover on Mars, or position a satallite?

The answer is kinematics! By using some mathematical calculations and vectors, we can determine where something should land and how fast it will be traveling.
