QUESTION:

A dart leaves the barrel of a blowgun at a speed \(v\). The length of the blowgun barrel is \(L\). Assume that the acceleration of the dart in the barrel is uniform.

a. Show that the dart moves inside the barrel for a time of \(2L/v\).

b. If the dart’s exit speed is 15.0 m/s and the length of the blowgun is 1.4 m, show that the time the dart is in the barrel is 0.19 s.
