FYI data for "realistic" problems

[Aaron Titus <titus@NCAT.EDU>]

FYI

When I write homework problems for my physics class, I try to choose
somewhat realistic situations with realistic data.  For instance, if I'm
giving a Newton's second law problem where students analyze the forces on a
tennis ball, I try to give the mass of an actual tennis ball.  A useful
site for finding some of this data is at
