A tourist visiting Monte Carlo, Monaco, would probably stand and admire the beauty of the fountain shown in the photograph, and might even toss a coin into the fountain and make a wish. A physics student, however, might admire the symmetry of the water jets. He or she might estimate the highest point that the water reaches and the angle at which it leaves the fountain, and then mentally calculate the initial velocity the water must have in order to reach that height.

Seriously? Come on. I guess that is why I study physics.
