Answer #1

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is converted to gravitational potential energy

(1/2)kx^2 = m g h

The maximum height reached is

h = kx^2 / 2mg
= (350)(0.08)^2 / 2(0.35)(9.8)
= 0.3265m
=32cm

    The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 450 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.40 cm and a ball with mass 0.0270 kg is placed in the horizontal barrel against the compressed spring. The spring is then released, and the ball is propelled out the barrel of the gun. The barrel is 6.40 cm long, so the ball leaves the barrel at the same point that it loses contact with the spring. The gun...

    The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 400 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.00 cm and a ball with mass 0.0300 kg is placed in the horizontal barrel against the compressed spring. The spring is then released, and the ball is propelled out the barrel of the gun. The barrel is 6.00 cmlong, so the ball leaves the barrel at the same point that it loses contact with the spring. The gun is...

    A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 350 N/m to propel a 14.0 g steel ball. The spring is compressed 8.80 cm and friction is negligible. (a) How much force (in N) is needed to compress the spring? (Assume the gun is aimed in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (b) To what maximum height (in m) can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal (in...

    A massless spring of a spring gun has a force constant k=800 N/m. A ball of mass 0.5 kg is resting on top of the spring. The ball compresses the spring by d as shown in the right figure. When the gun is fired vertically, the ball reached a maximum height of 5 m from the top of the spring as it returns to its natural length. Calculate how much the spring was initially compressed (d). (a) 12 cm; (b)...

    A spring with a force constant of 4900 N/m and a rest length of 3.5 m is used in a catapult. When compressed to 1.0 m, it is used to launch a 42 kg rock. However, there is an error in the release mechanism, so the rock gets launched almost straight up. How high does it go (in m)? (Assume the rock is launched from ground height.) b. How fast is it going (in m/s) when it hits the ground?
