    Calculating range with controlled air gun

    Ah i see. You are correct, I did not think to relate my pressure to force and solve for work. Once initial kinetic energy is found in (joules?), i use v1 = sqrt ((2 * e) / m); where e is energy in joules. Then solve for range. Does this seem right?

    Calculating range with controlled air gun

    Homework Statement Ultimately, I need to calculate the range of projectile fired from my controlled air gun. My meter gives me pressure in psi which i keep at constant 40 psi, allows me measure (theta) 45 degrees, volume 2.48 in^3Homework Equations R=(v^2/g)*sin(2(theta)); x(t)=v cos(theta)t...
