A toy pellet gun, shown above, has a pellet with a mass of 4.46 g and a spring with spring constant 8.1 N/m.
For all cases, assume the pellet starts from rest and that friction is negligible.
(A) If the pellet compresses the spring 2.02 cm, what is the final speed of the pellet when it leaves the gun?
Assume that the pellet is shot horizontally.
0.8608
(B) What mass would the pellet have if, with the same compression, the pellet has twice the speed found in part (A)?
Assume that the pellet is shot horizontally.
