2. What is the terminal velocity of a ping pong ball?
The terminal velocity of a ping pong ball is the maximum speed at which it can fall through air due to the force of gravity being equal to the air resistance acting on the ball.
The terminal velocity of a ping pong ball can be calculated using the equation v = √((2mg)/(ρAC)) where v is the terminal velocity, m is the mass of the ping pong ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ is the density of air, A is the cross-sectional area of the ball, and C is the drag coefficient.
The terminal velocity of a ping pong ball can be affected by factors such as the mass and size of the ball, the density of air, and the drag coefficient of the ball. The shape and surface texture of the ball can also have an impact on its terminal velocity.
The terminal velocity of a ping pong ball can vary in different environments depending on factors such as air temperature, altitude, and air density. Generally, the terminal velocity will be higher in denser air and lower in less dense air.
Yes, the terminal velocity of a ping pong ball can be changed by altering the factors that affect it. For example, changing the shape or surface texture of the ball can affect the drag coefficient and therefore change the terminal velocity. Additionally, changing the environment, such as increasing or decreasing air density, can also impact the terminal velocity of a ping pong ball.
