Re: Measuring projectile poof balls
If you are using a pitching machine type device, you can use rotational motion principles.
V = r ω
V - Linear Velocity
r - Radius
ω - Angular Velocity
So, find the RPM of the output wheel, convert to Rotations per Second, then convert to radians per second. ω is a unit of radians per second.
That should give you a basic outline of how fast it will travel assuming a 100% efficient transmission of power between both items.
