Suppose a 0.270 -kg mass on a spring-loaded gun that has been compressed 0.210 m has elastic potential energy of 24.0 J. How high above the spring's equilibrium point can the gun fire the mass if the gun is fired straight up?
From the conservation of energy
Initial elastic potential energy = Final gravitational potential energy
there fore 24 J = mgh
height above the equilibrium point h = 24/mg = 24/(.270*9.8) = 9.07 meters

Suppose a 0.45-kg mass on a spring-loaded gun that has been compressed 0.10 m has elastic potential energy of 1.50 J. How high above the spring's equilibrium point can the gun fire the mass if the gun is fired straight up? Group of answer choices 0.34 m 0.58 m 0.24 m 3.2 m 33 m
9. A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m-2.50 kg straight up in the air, as shown below. The spring has spring constant k-500 NI/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 20.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position y-0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that...
A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50 kg straight up in the air, as shown in (Figur 1) . The spring has spring constant k =667 N/m. If the spring is compressed distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilbriurn position y = 0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of...
1. The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 48.00 N/m, is 0.940 J. Find by how much is the spring is compressed. 2. A 0.070 kg dart is fired straight up. Find the vertical distance the dart travels from its position when the spring is compressed to its highest position. 3. The same dart is now fired horizontally from a height of 1.10 m. The dart remains in contact until...
A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50kg straight up in the air, as shown in (Figure 1) . The spring has spring constant k=667N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 23.0 cm from its equilibrium position y=0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that...
The spring in a BB gun has a force constant of 1.8e4 N/m. When loaded, the spring is compressed a distance of 1.2cm. If the mass of the BB is 0.36g, then what is the speed of the BB as it is fired from the toy gun?
A hockey puck of mass m = 0.170 kg is loaded into a spring gun with spring constant k = 306 N/m. The spring is compressed by a distance d = 0.100 m and then released, launching the puck onto a horizontal and frictionless surface of ice with speed v in the positive x-direction. This puck then collides with another puck of the same mass which is at rest at the origin. After the collision the two pucks move away...
1.A spring-loaded dart gun with a spring constant K= 2000 N/m is used to shoot a dart with a mass .20kg straight up into the air, and the dart reaches a maximum height of 10 meters. How far did the spring need to be compressed? 2. If i wanted to measure the amount of potential energy in the spring inside my nerf gun, with some nerf darts, what is an easy way i could do it? Explain the steps you...
A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m= 1.50kg straight up in the air, as shown in the figure. The spring has spring constant k=667 N/m. If thespring is compressed a distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position y=0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax(measuredfrom the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that all movement...
A dart gun consists of a spring (k = 367 N/m) and a 25.0 g dart. When the dart is loaded into the gun, the spring is compressed 7.0 cm. The gun is aimed straight up and fired. a) How high does the dart go, ignoring air resistance of course? b) How fast is the dart going when it comes back down to the horizontal level at which it was fired?
