Question

A ball of mass m is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant k. The spring can be compressedΔx. How high can the ball be shot if the gun is aimed vertically? After you have an algebraic solution, let m = 15g, k = 600N/m and Δx = 5cm.

Expert Solution

Step 1

When the spring of the gun is compress by Δx.The internal force of the spring is F=k*Δx and

the stored energy of the spring is (1/2)*k*(Δx)².

when the mass m is released the compression Δx of the spring ,let v will be the velocity of the mass.

so kinetic energy of the mass is(1/2)*m*(v)².
