It's interesting to me that using the height of the bounce against the ground for estimating the spring constant is worse than using the height of the bounce against the battery.
- jacquesm 12y agoI don't really agree with that part of the test setup. The mass and springiness of the battery versus the slug dropped mask the fact that this is a double spring setup, there is also still the bottom of the battery contacting the base it all sits on so you can expect some of the bounce to be transferred to the battery which would not jump a whole lot. So at a minimum there would have to be a hard connection (clamped or glued in place or something like that) between the base and the battery to compensate for that.
