A spring cannon has a spring constant of 350 N / m and the bullet weighs 10 grams. What is the maximum height, measured above the equilibrium position of the spring, that the spring cannon can shoot the ball up to if the maximum compression of the spring is 3.0 cm?


(Continuation of the previous question)
Before firing, the spring is compressed 2.0 centimeters in relation to the equilibrium position and the firing angle is set to ?? = 41 °. The spring gun is mounted on a table, the equilibrium position of the spring is at the same height as the surface of the table and the ball lands on the table at the horizontal distance L from the spring gun. what is the distance L?

continuation
The spring gun is now mounted so that it shoots over the edge of the table and the bullet hits the floor,
which is 110 cm below the table edge. The firing angle is unchanged ?? = 41 °.
If the starting velocity of the ball is ??0 = 2.0 m / s, what is the horizontal distance from the spring gun to the place where the bullet hits the floor?
