Find the maximum height hax of the ball. 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. Express your answer numerically, in meters. • View Available Hint(s) hmax = 1.17 m Submil Previous Answers Correct In this problem you practiced applying the law of conservation of mechanical energy to a physical situation to find the muzzie velocity and the maximum height reached by the ball.
