How Golf Pill Affect Distance

Before even beginning to measure the ping pong ball’s “journey”, we had to create our own catapult. Using materials provided by Ms. Csigi, such as popsicle sticks, hot glue, rubber bands, and a spoon, we created the our own, unique catapult. First off, we created a square with four popsicle overlapping each other. Then we created another square and connected the two by the edge, with one side upwards. Then we got a spoon and glued it on another popsicle stick. Because the spoon needed to be at an angle, we hot glued the bottom facing the bottom of the square. We connected rubber bands to the spoon so that once we pull the spoon to ground zero, the

(Reference) It doesn’t matter whether the volleyball is being set, served, or passed, it moves both up and forward. This is influenced by the downward pull of gravity and horizontal motion, which is known as projectile motion. The volleyball serve follows a parabolic trajectory, and without air resistance, the volleyball would travel along a parabola, but since there is air resistance, the volleyball travels along a shorter path. (Reference) there are 3 factor that can increase your volleyball serve however if not performed correctly can affect the serve. These 3 are height of release (the higher the better), speed of release (the faster the better) and angle of release (45° for optimum distance). The higher the height of release, the better but it is better because it means the ball travel lower which means the ball is not in the air for long which is harder for the opposition. Generally, the greater the speed of release, the greater the distance gained, the speed of release can improve because it will be more challenging to return. The angle of release improves the accuracy of the shot, which can also make the serve harder to

Meta Description - A launch angle in baseball measures the vertical angle of the ball as it meets the bat. Launch angles range from under ten degrees for ground balls to 50 degrees or more for pop-ups. MLB statistics show that the best launch angles for batters are 19 to 26 degrees. These angles result in more hits and homers.

Some of these factors are gravity, the air resistance, the speed of release, the angle of release, and the height of release. The most basic and principal factor acting on a projectile is gravity. Gravity affects every object. It decreases the height that a projectile can attain. Air resistance is also a key factor working on an object. The larger the surface area, the more air resistance will affect a projectile. Air resistance will also affect an object more if it has a smaller mass. Also, the faster the speed of the projectile, the greater the air resistance. The speed of release refers to how fast an object is released and is directly related to the distance of the flight. The greater the speed of release and object has, the greater the distance the object will have. The initial vertical velocity increases the height of trajectories, creating a longer flight path. Similarly, as the initial horizontal velocity increase, the longer the length of flight and distance. The angle of release is the angle that an object is thrown or hit into the air. It changes the relationship

1) Once the simulation opens, click on ‘Show Both’ for Velocity and Acceleration at the top of the page. Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around.

12. The independent variables in the experiment is the ball’s radius and the angle of the ramp, while the dependent variables is the speed and time of the ball.

The second equation used in the lab, vx= x/t, was able to represent the relationship between the velocity of x and the x direction. The farther the ball traveled in the x direction, the greater the velocity of x was. This is obvious due to the fact that time was a constant value of 0.44 s, so as the number multiplied to 0.44 s increased, so did the product (velocity of x).

In the experiment there were flaws like human error in how hard the ball was pushed. In the first trial for 5 meters I pushed the volleyball less than the basketball so that is why there is a massive difference between the volleyball and the basketball. Another would be perception.

Our tension giving material (bungee cords) were stretched from the front of our catapult to the arm, over the bar that allows for a proper launch angle. The potential energy stored in the bungee cords is at a maximum when the arm is pulled all the way to its farthest angle away from the launching bar. When released, the bungee cords sling the arm forward as it rotates on a dowel. The arm hits the launching bar, causing all the energy transferred from the chords to the arm to be transferred into the golf ball. The golf ball is then hurled forward, and can reach a distance of about 17

The correlation, R2, between the variables in Figures 7, 8, and 9 are 0.9926, 0.9948, and 0.9807, respectively, which is ≈ 1 suggesting a perfect match. The linearity in each data set suggests that the ball will always bounce back to a fraction of the initial height of the drop. Equally, each curve has a unique, distinct slope (0.2754, 0.5722, and 0.6636 for balls #1, 2, and 3, respectively), implying that the material composition of the ball has an effect on the bounce height. Conclusion

The distance the shot put can travel (its range) is a function of horizontal velocity and flight time (Lanka, 2000). Release velocity is dependent of the magnitude and direction of forces as well as the distance over which the forces are applied and the duration of the activity (Zatsiorsky, Lanka & Shalmanov, 1981). The acceleration of an object is also affected by gravity due to the structures

The greater the height of ball drop, the higher the bounce height of the ball.

When the experiment is undertaken the distance from the ramp to the landing position of the ball is recorded (value d in diagram 1). This means that the formula, Xv= X1+Vvt +12at2 can be used to find the vertical component, however, (t) time is required for this formula. Using the equation v=dtthe time can be found.

Dimples on a golf ball create a thin layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little further around the back side of the ball. Factors such as these heavily impact the path of the ball, but more importantly, the biomechanical influence of the athlete behind it.

What is predicted to happen in this experiment is when an angle of elevation of a ramp is changed on one side this will affect the amount of momentum a ball possess before collision and after collision. The ball that travels down a ramp with a steeper angle, will have a greater velocity therefore produce more momentum because it has a greater velocity compared to the ball travelling down a ramp not as steep. This will then affect the amount of kinetic energy a ball possess after collision. The ball that is travelling down the ramp with a slightly higher angle, will possess more kinetic energy before collision but after collision it will posses less kinetic energy because of it being an elastic collision where energy is conserved and transfers some energy to the ball travelling down the less steep ramp with less momentum. Therefore the ball travelling down the ramp that is not as steep will possess more kinetic energy after collision.
