Re: Physics Problem :D

A rough idea of how far that kind of energy will take you is attached. Note that it makes assumptions like the surgical tubing behaving like an ideal spring, there being no air resitance, and 100% of the energy is imparted to the ball. It says that if you fired straight up it would go about 10 feet, which seems a little far to me so you may want to double check my math.

This suggests that there should be a pretty wide range of angles that would work.
