Abstract

Calculations are presented on the trajectory of a golf ball that rolls across the inclined surface of a golf green. The ball follows a curved path and comes to a stop at a point displaced at an angle to the initial launch direction. It is shown that the displaced angle is independent of the launch speed but depends on the launch angle and the ratio of the incline angle to the coefficient of rolling friction. The stopping distance is proportional to the launch speed squared. A simple experiment is described to check the calculations.
高尔夫球在倾斜果岭上的运动轨迹
计算高尔夫球在高尔夫果岭倾斜表面上滚动的轨迹。高尔夫球沿着弯曲的轨迹移动,最后停在一个与初始发射方向成一定角度的位移点上。实验表明,位移角与发射速度无关,但取决于发射角和倾斜角与滚动摩擦系数之比。停止距离与发射速度的平方成正比。描述了一个简单的实验来检验计算结果。

期刊介绍: European Journal of Physics is a journal of the European Physical Society and its primary mission is to assist in maintaining and improving the standard of taught physics in universities and other institutes of higher education. Authors submitting articles must indicate the usefulness of their material to physics education and make clear the level of readership (undergraduate or graduate) for which the article is intended. Submissions that omit this information or which, in the publisher''s opinion, do not contribute to the above mission will not be considered for publication. To this end, we welcome articles that provide original insights and aim to enhance learning in one or more areas of physics. They should normally include at least one of the following: Explanations of how contemporary research can inform the understanding of physics at university level: for example, a survey of a research field at a level accessible to students, explaining how it illustrates some general principles. Original insights into the derivation of results. These should be of some general interest, consisting of more than corrections to textbooks. Descriptions of novel laboratory exercises illustrating new techniques of general interest. Those based on relatively inexpensive equipment are especially welcome. Articles of a scholarly or reflective nature that are aimed to be of interest to, and at a level appropriate for, physics students or recent graduates. Descriptions of successful and original student projects, experimental, theoretical or computational. Discussions of the history, philosophy and epistemology of physics, at a level accessible to physics students and teachers. Reports of new developments in physics curricula and the techniques for teaching physics. Physics Education Research reports: articles that provide original experimental and/or theoretical research contributions that directly relate to the teaching and learning of university-level physics.
