1. Homework Statement 1.Main question: Why would anyone need to know the total VERTICAL distance traveled by a bouncing ball? 2.Other question: Does anyone have a link to an explanation (or could explain themselves) on how to calculate the total HORIZONTAL distance traveled by a bouncing...

Does anyone have a link to an explanation (or could explain themselves) on how to calculate the total HORIZONTAL distance traveled by a bouncing ball? I have filmed and analysed (plotted the points) of a few trajectories, so I have the values, I just need to explain why i got those values and...

So in this case, what would I do? :)

Homework Statement I am writing a mathematics paper and I would like to know how do you mathematically say "put on the other side" of the integral, I have a constant in the integral and I want to say that I'm putting it on the other side. I attached a picture where I show with a arrow...

So should I ignore it? :D

I get that the coefficient of restitution of the ping pong ball is about 0.82 in the beginning and then it increases up to 0.9. Also, is the way I calculate COR correct? For ex. this is a sample of my data: Max height of 2 bounces: 1.04m --> 0.70m COR=(0.70/1.04)^0.5=0.82 Is this a...

Homework Statement I need to know whether a ping pong ball bounces the same fraction of the previous height or does the fraction change? For ex. if I drop the ball from 1m and it bounces back to 0.7m, it decreased by 30%, will it always decrease by 30%, or will the percentage change...

Analytical model - developing an equation(s) to fit the data that I collected. I threw a ping pong ball while filming it, analysed the video using LoggerPro, i.e. I plotted the position of the ball in each frame of the video. And now I have to find a function (first on paper, and then test with...

Homework Statement Find an analytical model for the height of a bouncing ball to be able to find the the height of the ball at any given time. In other words, as I understand, write an equation that would define the trajectory of a bouncing ball. Let's say the coefficient of restitution (COR)...
