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 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)...
