A toy spring gun is used to shoot a 30 g marble vertically upward. The uncompressed length of the spring is 200 mm. Before the gun is shot, the spring is compressed to a length of 60 mm. The spring constant is 175 N/m. a) Calculate the velocity of the marble when it leaves the gun in m/s. b) Calculate the maximum height the marble will reach in m relative to its starting position inside the gun.

Transcribed Image Text:A toy spring gun is used to shoot a 30 g marble vertically upward. The uncompressed length
of the spring is 200 mm. Before the gun is shot, the spring is compressed to a length of 60
mm. The spring constant is 175 N/m.
a) Calculate the velocity of the marble when it leaves the gun in m/s.
b) Calculate the maximum height the marble will reach in m relative to its starting position
inside the gun.
While Prof. K. was stuck in airport over break, she saw someone riding a Modobag (the
world's first motorized carry-on luggage) and immediately ordered one off Amazon. Once it
got deliveręd, she took it for a test ride up the hill between the Student Union and the football
stadium. Prof. K. started traveling with an unknown initial velocity and came to a complete
stop after 25 ft.
a) Clearly draw coordinate systems for Prof. K. travelling up the hill. Write out the necessary
200 mm
60 mm
