So, I made a marshmallow launcher that has a small tube within a larger tube that when a bungee is released it gets launched into the larger tube, smacking the marshmallow and sending it flying. Woo!
My problem is that I want to use the equations for projectile motion, I know the angles I'm firing at and my force is consistent. The only problem is that I don't know the force on the marshmallow or the muzzle velocity! :(
I have the spring constant and don't need to solve the numbers right now, just need help setting up equations.
Here's a picture!
