The physics of pizza tossing
 |
Researchers at the MicroNanophysics Research Laboratory
at Monash University have developed a model of pizza tossing based
on observations of professional chefs tossing dough. They came up
with calculations that describe the dough’s trajectory, allowing
them to identify the optimal tossing motions in terms of rotational
speed, stability, and energy efficiency.
