Abstract | Measurements are presented of the force acting on ping-pong and squash balls impacting on a force plate. Both ball types are hollow and have the same diameter but deform in very different ways. Ping pong balls are relatively stiff and buckle inwards at high impact speeds, while squash balls are softer and tend to squash or flatten. The buckling process generates a large-amplitude, high-frequency oscillation of the force acting on a ping-pong ball. Squash balls are initially very stiff before they soften, with the result that the force on the ball rises to about half its maximum value in the first 20 mircoseconds. Ping-pong balls have a high coefficient of restitution (COR), while squash balls have a low COR. Results for both ball types are interpreted in terms of additional experimental observations. 2014 American Association of Physics Teachers. |
