Problem 63PE

Integrated Concepts

A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 300 N/m to propel a 10.0-g steel ball. If the spring is compressed 7.00 cm and friction is negligible: (a) How much force is needed to compress the spring? (b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal may a child aim to hit a target 3.00 m away at the same height as the gun? (d) What is the gun’s maximum range on level ground?

ANSWER:

Part (a)

Step 1 of 9:

A steel ball is fired using a toy gun. The spring inside the gun is given and the force constant is also provided. Assume that the friction is negligible. We are going to find the force required to compress the spring.

The force constant of the spring

The displacement of the spring  or
