Simple Projectile Motion

Ever get one of those problems.. that sounds something like..
"Roy hits a baseball at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal at a velocity of 30 mph.
a. determine how high the baseball will go
b. determine how far the baseball will go"
and so on and so forth.
Well I've explained just about everything I know about simple projectile motion in this animated excel spread sheet. Including a nice little explanation of the calculus behind the equations of motion.
