Conclusion

After reading this article you may think you have what it takes to become a beer pong champion. But similar to other sports practice is essential. The fact that you must throw at a constant velocity and a perfect angle is almost impracticable. There are many other uncertainties that must be taken into consideration. I did not include air resistance because this variable changes depending on air density and temperature, and the calculations stump my calculator. But your own uncertainties have the potential to cover this up. You might toss at 6.2 m/s causing you to overcome air resistance. After a few games, measuring the perfect distances will also be hard to achieve. With physics these problems and uncertainty values can be calculated but the work to do this is too labor intensive for myself. My point of this experiment was to show the reader what your mind takes into account while playing a sport. Our mental ability is amazing in that it can analyze the problem mentally and output physically. And with practice, our minds are able to analyze the problem and produce results with more accuracy. The problem presented demonstrates how the cognitive mind interprets wonderful calculations and physically produces outstanding results. But be warned, after a night of beer pong you may go from this:
