The launching mechanism of a popgun consists of a trigger-released
spring. The spring is compressed to a position yA=-0.12m, and the trigger is fired.
The projectile of mass m=35g rises to a position yC=20m above the position yB=0m
at which it leaves the spring.
1-Neglecting all resistive forces, determine the spring constant.
2-Find the speed of the ball at height yB

In a spring gun system, a spring with a spring force constant 420 N/mN/m  , is compressed 0.13 mm . When fired, 80.9 %% of the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is eventually converted into kinetic energy of a 6.10×10−2 kgkg uniform ball that is rolling without slipping at the base of a ramp. The ball continues to roll without slipping up the ramp with 89.6 %% of the kinetic energy at the bottom converted into an increase in...
