Khan Academy: Projectile Launcher: Ping Pong Ball Launcher Introduction

Students, in groups, use given materials to devise a way to deposit a ping-pong ball into a paper cup that is located in the middle of a 6-foot diameter circle, while standing outside the circle.

If floating were easy, everyone would do it! How does the Coanda Effect work? A video from a fascinating physics playlist shows how balanced upward and downward forces float a ping pong ball in a stream of air.

A blow dryer and ping pong balls are all you need to demonstrate the amazing properties of air flow. In this demonstration, Spangler has a little boy as his assistant. Together, they make ping pong balls, a beach ball, and a roll of...

We upgrade our ping pong ball launcher (created in an earlier video) to make it safer, more accurate and more reliable. Includes ongoing explanation of the design and re-design processes and the rationale behind each change made.

This woodworking project shows you how to build an adjustable projectile launcher intended to launch ping pong balls. [10:27]

Video explores how to derive a formula for maximum projectile displacement as a function of elapsed time. [7:08]

Continuing with projectile motion problems, the video shows how to play the game called how fast was the ball that you threw upwards. [9:33]

Video tutorial gives examples showing out how high a ball will get given how long it spends in the air. [8:50]

Challenging problem of a projectile on an inclined plane. [18:17]

Solving the second part to the projectile motion problem (with wind gust) using ordered set vector notation. [10:18]
