Ping Pong - My Calculus Final Project

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO!!!!!!!!

This is a video my friend and i made for our final Calculus project. We go through a few steps how to find the velocity of the ping pong ball.

We weren't even hitting it too hard :D

We are both fairly good at ping pong too, so imagine how fast the ball travels when people spike it.

I figured i would upload this just to have it on here... Calculus was awesome and i have to say Thanks a Bunch! to my best Calculus teacher Mr. Walsh!!!

Cool idea, but how do you explain the ball increasing in velocity after it hits the table?

[sperdoch]

topspin. a lot of it lol

[Chruzha]

I have no idea what just happened, BUT

1) I was impressed

2) The song rocked my house

3)Songs name please? xD

4)I liked the editing style

5) 5 stars

noice, noice!

[e9zipy]

I under stood all of that

Nice job

[e9zipy]

@WePoopHere no its not

unless your in an AP or IB class

[WinLegit]

too much calculus!!!!

[guayreyes]

how did you find the equation of the ball's trajectory ? I know you have points and all but in this case its a bit hard to find the equation by transformation, so my question is how did you find the equation ?

[Orakle777]

im not in the mood for math! but it was ok.

[floppyorange]

dis iz wrong

[EdMajinLee199999]

cool idea guys, i would've expanded it a bit though, doing the same process for a couple different shots such as a slam and an defensive under spin in addition to the forehand. nice experiment though, good thinking

what song are you playing in the video.
