Re: Nerf ball starting at 12m/s 45 degree angle ending at 8ft 6in w/ air resistance

before you can calculate the answer you requested, someone has to measure the air resistance of the nerf balls.

someone has suggested the first step in another thread: drop one of the balls from a height and measure its terminal velocity (the speed at which its air resistance matches the pull of gravity).

Without real data parameters any calculations will be useless.
