Help with deriving an equation (coloumb's law, pith ball charges)
Homework Statement A lab we were recently given in AP Physics class contained an equation already derived. This lab was about determining the charge on a pith ball, using the static charge of a fur to charge the balls negatively, so they repel. Finding the angle and distance between the two...- rad5brandon

Undergrad Who used projectile motion to find a muzzle velocity?
So, in a class, we did an open-ended lab to find the muzzle velocity of a dart gun firing. We used three different methods: 1. shooting the gun straight up and down, and calculating the V, when y=0 2. placing a car on a (nearly) frictionless air track, and shooting the dart into it, having...- rad5brandon
