for our physics project we had to build a catapult
and our group built a kind of ballista.. if u don't know what that is it's a type of catapult that shoots out the object instead of launching it like a see-saw
so our catapult is hooked up to a spring which you pull back.. then release it to launch a marble through a pipe
but we need to find the velocity of our marble when it's launched
how am i supposed to do that?
i'm thinking i could use the spring constant somehow.. but i don't have any ideas on how to apply it
any help appreciated guys :)
