For a water balloon launch project, our students need to calculate the distance that the balloon will travel given the following information:
K- the spring constant of the launcher
the mass of the water balloon
the angle of launch
the distance that the launcher is pulled back.
Can anyone provide the sequence of equations (step by step) that leads to the students determining the distance that the balloon will travel?
I simply want them to tell me where to sit and they will launch their balloon (given the conditions above) and hopefully hit me.
Thanks
