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

971 got .41 ish as our Coefficient of drag (using wind-tunnel testing). Can we assume this is verified. Also, I don't know if this has been explained, but the "rho" in the drag equation is air density, generally around 1.2 kg/m^3.
