Deceleration of a Shuttlecock
by Masanobu Shibata and Pakorn Amornpatchara
Abstract
The relationship between the velocity and the deceleration of a badminton shuttlecock was investigated. A shuttlecock was hit at a typical range of velocities and was filmed at 600 frames per second. The deceleration was found to be proportional to velocity squared over the range tested.
