Answer:
Explanation:
mass of object, m = 3 kg
spring constant, K = 750 n/m
compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m
angle of gun, θ = 30°
(a) As the ball is launched, it has some velocity due to the compression in the spring, so it has some kinetic energy.
(b) Let v be th evelocity of ball at the tim eof launch.
by using the conservation of energy
1/2 Kx² = 1/2 mv²
750 x 0.08 x 0.08 = 3 x v²
v = 1.265 m/s
By use of the formula of maximum height
h = 0.02 m
h = 2 cm
