AI Thread Summary
To project a ping-pong ball as far as possible, various firing mechanisms can be utilized, including slingshots, catapults, and chemical propulsion methods like aerosol sprays with tubes. Additionally, some participants suggested using a ping-pong paddle for a more manual approach. Technical discussions highlighted the importance of optimizing launch angles and force for maximum distance. Participants also encouraged experimenting with different materials and designs to enhance performance. Overall, the focus remains on innovative and effective mechanisms for achieving long-distance projection.

Hey, I want to project a ping-p0ng ball as far as possible, could you guys give me some examples of firing mechanisms I could use, the more technical the better ? Thanks in advance.

P.S I have already

sling shot
catapult
chemical ( aerosol spray with tube )

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
