Moose, you don't need to have a slingshot and speed up the test at all. The main factor in all of this is momentum. I posted the following in your other thread, but I thought that I'd post it here as well. This is how I would go about it: 1. Figure out how fast the object is moving when...

Moose, this is how I would go about it: 1. Figure out how fast the object is moving when dropped from 15 feet. This can be done with the known acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s^2). This is the average acceleration across the Earth's surface. If you wanted a more accurate number, you'd...

Earlier today I was thinking about what is in between the very few molecules of hydrogen floating around in interstellar space (dark matter?), and a question came to me. What is in the space between the nucleus of an atom and the electrons that surround that nucleus? The space would be too...
