We Did the Math on a Ping Pong Blast Off - Here's What We Found

We Did the Math on a Ping Pong Blast Off - Here's What We Found Ping Pong Blast off (Cumulative Cannon) explained in Full detail Made for parents and teachers Hey, welcome back to Kids Fun Science! Today, we're diving into an exciting "experiment": the ping pong ball blast off! This engaging "science for kids" video explores the "physics" behind launching a ping pong ball, making it one of our favorite "science experiments" you can do as an "at home science" project. Watch closely to see the step-by-step setup and incredible results! Chapters 0:11 Ken's explaining why I posted this video 1:17 Intro of Luca and Matteo students of Polytechnic University of Milan 1:49 Cumulative Cannon 3:16 Slow motion video of the drop 6:27 Free fall description? 9:07 What happens when the system hits the ground? 10:50 Collision model, assumptions and ideal conditions 17:23 Variables of the experiment 19:07 Data collection and elaboration 20:00 How do the variables influence the results of the experiment? 22:32 Importance of swirl 23:23 Importance of swirl (video) 25:12 How high may a ping-pong ball jump using the setup on the video? 25:44 Fastest ping-pong ball! 26:37 What is the maximal fraction of the total kinetic energy that can be transferred to the ball? 28:31 Thank you (ping-pong bottle flip challenge) Halloween Holographic Projection, Christmas Halloween Window Projector 12 Movie Programs Projection Lights, https://amzn.to/2Sret9O Special thanks to Luca Terenzi and Matteo Baschieri students from Polytechnic University of Milan for sharing their findings and results. They were challenge by the University to solve a physic problem for the International Physicists' Tournament". You can get more information on the International Physicists' Tournament (IPT) here (https://iptnet.info/) and Polytechnic University of Milan ( https://www.polimi.it/en/) They were searching for internet for others that have done this experiment and found my youtube video. They contacted me to see what other information I had. My experiments are very low key and don't dive to deep into the physics, so I was not much help, but when they finished their experiment Cumulative Cannon they share it with me and I was blown away with their findings and results. One of the things I loved most is I didn't know that the swirl the glass before dropping it helped the ball launch higher and that the Ping pong ball sinks in the water after you drop it. They were kind enough to join a Zoom meeting from Italy and share their finding and results.
