Im serious, I wonder how far it will roll. It can probaby be calculated but I dont know the math (or the physics) to do it.
My guess is that I'll make 100m.
I can only guess, but it feels that the first 20m the cueball is travelling at about max speed, and from there it will slow down. 80m of rolling is alot.. maybe my 100m is to much.
When I was a youngster I could throw a baseball around 80 mph. The outfield fence was 420 at it's deepest in left center. I could get it to home plate, not on the fly or even the hop but on the roll. Pool cloth would give more distance on the roll. So lets see if that ball was hitting and rolling on a pool table like surface....lets be generous and say another 80 feet.My fastest break is like around 23 mph. So round my break speed up to 25 and my baseball throw down to 75 mph. So 1/3 of 500 feet would be 167 feet which would be 51 meters.
51 meters
Could be, just a WAG for fun.I don't think you are being generous enough. There is wayyy more friction on a baseball field.
I'm thinking I could break 80 yards.
Could be a challenge for Mythbusters.
