Modeled With Coding, the Relationship Between Interior and Exterior Golf Ball Design and Horizontal Distance Traveled
Faculty Sponsor(s)
Joelle Murray
Subject Area
Physics/Applied Physics
Description
This study focuses on the design of a golf ball, and how each variation of golf ball plays a role in the projectile motion. External factors are based around the aerodynamics of a golf ball, the design of dimples allows a different drag force compared to a smooth ball. The internal aspect compares different materials that make up the golf ball. Also comparing the different number of layers of these said materials will provide clarity into how the golf ball moves from a physics standpoint. Finally, a Python code will provide the projectile model of motion of a golf ball after it connects with the golf club.
