9. A vertically mounted spring (k = 900 N/m) is compressed by 24.0 cm relative to its unstrained length. A mass (m = 0.22 kg) is placed at rest against the spring. When the spring is released, the mass is launched vertically in the air. What is the speed of the mass (m) when it passes by a point located 9.02 m above the release point? m/s
A spring gun (spring constant k=100 N/m) is used to shoot a 10 g ball vertically up. Spring is compressed by 10 cm. a) What is the speed of the ball when it leaves the gun? 1. b) What is the maximum height of the ball above the release point?
A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.31-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.08 cm and has a force constant of 7.95 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 14.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.031 2 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? m/s (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its original position) (c) What is this maximum speed? m/s Need Help?

A 3.0 kg block slides with a speed of 2.3 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring. If the block compresses the spring 5.6 cm before coming to rest, what is the force constant of the spring? What initial speed should the block have to compress the spring by 1.4 cm?
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 (Figure 1). The spring has spring constant k = 667 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0 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 all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y axis.
