What angle must you have to make your ping pong ball or golf ball go at least 3 yards on a ping pong catapult?
What angle must you have to make your ping pong ball or golf ball at least 3 yards on a ping pong catapult? First you must know the definition of drag. The definition of drag is resistance to air. (Drag 1). With drag and the golf ball, you have to know do the dimples affect it the answer is yes the air current is affected around it.
(This picture shows the air currents around the balls.)
Even with dimples affecting the air bubble around the ball weight is also an issue because the wind might move it even if its light. And the thing that shows that put a piece of paper on the table on a windy day it moves and after that put a rock on the same table on the same day does it move no. so weight will effect this experiment.
You must also know about air resistance the difference of air resistance is that air resistance is falling object drag is the resistance of air not air resistance. The definition of air resistance is the action of friction that slows something moving through the air.(air resistance 1). The definition of drag and air resistance are similar but they are different too.
