A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.40-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.09 cm and has a force constant of 7.97 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 16.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 3 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

Question
A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.40-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.09 cm and has a force constant of 7.97 N/m. When the
cannon is fired, the ball moves 16.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 3 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
