Find the maximum height hmax of the ball

Reference no: EM13543539

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass straight up in the air, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) The spring has spring constant . If the spring is compressed a distance of 25.0 centimeters from its equilibrium position and then released, the ball reaches a maximum height (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 all movement occurs in a straight line up and down along the y axis. Find the muzzle velocity of the ball (i.e., the velocity of the ball at the spring's equilibrium position ). Find the maximum height hmax of the ball.

What is the sum of the kinetic energies of both particles : A positron is a particle with the same mass and magnitude charge as an electron, but a positron has a positive charge. If a positron and electron are held a distance of 0.900 pm apart and then both are released from rest, when they are 0.324 pm away ..

The sun appears to move across the sky : The sun appears to move across the sky, because the earth spins on its axis. To a person standing on the earth, the sun subtends an angle of sun = 9.30 x 10-3 rad (see Conceptual Example 2). How much time (in seconds) does it take for the sun to move..

Block slides along a track from one level to a higher level : In the figure, a 4.0 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distan..

What is the speed of the block just as it touches the spring : In the figure, a block of mass m = 12 kg is released from rest on a frictionless incline of angle ? = 26°. Below the block is a spring that can be compressed 2.8 cm by a force of 330 N. The block momentarily stops when it compresses the spring by 6.9..
