Thanks everyone for your input

We used the same for Mars we just worked out the acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 38% of the value on Earth so changed it from 9.81 to 3.73

Yes it did give us the air density readings and an equation to find the air resistance but it was getting far too complicated so just thought at least he has something to show them that he has understood. Thank you all for your help

Thanks we have put something together. We did the velocity of the ping pong when it lands on earth We found out the time it took to fall and then did time x acceleration due to gravity = Velocity for time we did height(3m) x 2 / 9.81 = 0.6116207951 then found the square root of that answer =...

Thanks for your input

Thank you I'll pass this onto my son

Thank you so much for your help

Ok, no problem, thanks anyway

Hi, no my son is 16 he has just left high school to start A level at college next month. I have absolutely no idea about physics and was just looking for someone to fully explain what he would need to do to solve the problem of what the velocity of the ping-pong ball just before landing 1. On...

I really don't have any idea and my son is not here to ask

No my son has just left HS and the college he will be attending sent a pamphlet of work which he has completed. This is the only part he is stuck on. The reason I have asked for hep is so that when I have the answer and how to get it, and I understand it, I would be able to offer him a few...
