A small spring-loaded launcher is designed to fire steel ball bearings with masses of 0.24 kg . When setting the launcher, you compress the spring a distance of 12 cm . You then fire the launcher straight up and find that the projectiles reach a maximum height of 1.2 m above the point that they leave the launcher. You load another ball bearing, compress the spring a distance of 19 cm , and place it horizontally at the edge of a table that is 0.6 m tall. You fire the ball from the edge of the table. How far from the base of the table does it hit the ground?

A ball of mass m is shot straight up into the air by a spring-loaded launcher. Initially, the spring is compressed by a distance D. After the spring is released, the ball has a velocity v out of the launcher and finally reaches a maximum height H. Ignoring air resistance, which of the following statements are true? True False  If the spring constant is doubled, the ball will max out at height 8H True False  The initial potential energy of the spring...

Using only the spring gun with the catcher removed, fire the steel ball, making sure the launch velocity is horizontal. Using carbon paper (and something to catch the ball after impact with the floor), determine the ball’s horizontal range and its total vertical displacement (i.e., height at point of firing). Repeat several times in order to obtain statistical data. Derive a formula in symbolic form for the initial velocity of the projectile in terms of the following three quantities only:...

A child's play rifle uses a spring to fire a 5.21-g soft plastic ball. The spring is compressed by 4.99 cm and has a spring constant of 7.94 N/m. When the rifle is fired, the ball moves 14.1 cm through the horizontal barrel of the rifle, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 7 N on the ball. (a) With what speed does the ball leave the barrel of the rifle? Make certain you have correctly converted...

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball straight up in the air. (Figure 1) The ball reaches a maximum height H, measured from the equilibrium position of the spring.The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far before firing. How far up does the ball go this time? Neglect friction. Assume that the spring is ideal and that the distance by...

In an industrial process, 20 mm diameter spherical steel ball bearings are heat-treated to improve their durability. For application (1), the entire ball bearing needs to be heated evenly to 1000 K. For application (2), only the outer 1 mm of the ball is to be heated to a temperature in excess of 1000 K. The properties of the ball bearing are c = 0.5 kJ/kg*K; p = 7800 kg/m3; k = 50 W/m.K. At your facility, you have access...

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50kg straight up in the air, as shown in (Figure 1) . The spring has spring constant k=667N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position y=0 and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height hmax (measured from the equilibrium position of the spring). There is no air resistance, and the ball never touches the inside of the gun. Assume that...
