Spin Rate and Deflection Ratio of a Ping Pong Ball

Spin Rate and Deflection Ratio of a Ping Pong Ball

Show other versions (1)

To investigate the effects of a spherical object’s spin rate on the curvature of its flight, Ping Pong balls, of varying spin rates, were hit horizontally and recorded from above with a high-speed camera. It was shown that there was a proportional relationship between the ball’...
