Question

In a physics lab experiment, a spring clamped to the table shoots a 20 g ball horizontally.  When the spring is compressed 20 cm, the ball travels horizontally 7.3 m and lands on the floor 1.5 m below the point at which it left the spring.  What is the spring constant in N/m.  (Don't forget to convert units.)  Hint:  This is a projectile motion problem.  Use time to fall t = srt(2*y/g).

Projectile

A projectile is an object that is thrown without any fuel. A projectile is generally thrown with a velocity making an angle with respect to the horizontal. Examples of a projectile are meteors falling from the sky and an artillery gun firing at enemy positions.
