Spud speeds somewhat overstated Final Edition
For several years I have been using a spud gun as a very useful demonstration tool in my physics classes. We've shot potatoes across a field to study the laws of projectile motion, shot them into buckets mounted on skateboards to study momentum and collisions, and even fired potatoes through a...

| Summary: | For several years I have been using a spud gun as a very useful demonstration tool in my physics classes. We've shot potatoes across a field to study the laws of projectile motion, shot them into buckets mounted on skateboards to study momentum and collisions, and even fired potatoes through a sensitive timing gate to find the muzzle velocity. |
