GOALS GOALS model projectile motion and bouncing motion of ping-pong ball explore probabilities of advantageous shots and racks
MODEL MODEL Angle necessary to reach a target (x, y) with initial velocity v: Initial Velocity (m/s) Launch Angle ()
MODEL MODEL Velocity adjusted for air resistance:
MODEL MODEL Trajectory with initial velocity v and angle to reach target (x, y): x y
FUTU FUTURE WORK: WORK: x y Bouncing & restitution coefficient: Solution: Mathematica’s EventLocator
FUTU FUTURE WORK WORK 3rd dimension, :
FUTU FUTURE WORK WORK explore probabilities: racks: line racks dense racks shots: arc bounce
