Who Did It? - The Murder of Huge Ackman

Huge Ackman has been shot and it's up to you to figure out who did it! Using concepts from PHYS 250 and the assistance of a ballistic pendulum, it is possible to determine where Ackman was shot, the velocity of the bullet, and whose gun the bullet was fired from. By applying physics to forensic science, you can use kinematics to help narrow down the killer and bring justice to Huge Ackman’s death.
