A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 17 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.035 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.7 cm for this launch?
Answer from: vladisking888
Explanation:
Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.
= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²
= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J
Energy lost due to friction = force x distance
= .035 x .17
= .00595 J
Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.
129.96 x 10⁻⁴ - .00595
.012996 - .00595
= .007046 J
So
1/2 m v² = .007046
v² = .007046 x 2 / .0059
= 2.3885
v = 1.545 m /s
Answer from: Quest
