1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Hi everyone. I've hit a bit of a wall with some coursework.
I've been asked to calculate muzzle velocity of a fired weapon based on the following data:
Bullet mass and calibre
Bullet drop distance (between target using laser and where the bullet actually hit)
Distance between gun and target
Actual velocities measured by a chronograph (we are supposed to be comparing
Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction on how i'm supposed to calculate muzzle vel. based on this? Thanks.
2. Relevant equations
Unknown.
3. The attempt at a solution
I have considered the final velocity equation, but I don't have the required data for this either. So i'm a bit lost!
