Muzzle Velocity
« on: October 08, 2005, 02:13:32 PM »
I'm trying to find an equation for muzzle velocity that ignores friction and air resistance, using only the inital force, mass of the projectile, and length of the barrel.

Or should/can I just use:
V^2 = 2ax
where a is F/m and x is the length of the barrel?  (Assuming a zero inital velocity)
