Hos fast can you throw a baseball? How fast is a speeding bullet? Restricted to simple tools in the laboratory, this chapter explains how both measurements can be completed with a clever approach and some elementary physics. It then presents a challenge to find the speed of a bullet using a ballistic pendulum and to design an apparatus to be used in school physics laboratories.
