4) A spring loaded gun with a spring constant of 5100 N/m is used to fire a 0.010 kg bullet off of a 110 m cliff. The spring is compressed 0.10 m before launch. Assuming there is no air resistance, what is the speed of the bullet just before it hits the ground?

A dart gun has a spring with a constant of 875 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 5.5 cm. You fire a 0.075-kg dart from a height of 0 m. The dart hits a wall at a height of 1.5 m. Ignore air resistance. What is the initial potential energy of the spring? What is the speed of the dart just before it hits the wall? The dart then penetrates 0.5 cm into the wall before coming to rest. How...

A spring-loaded toy gun is used to shoot a ball of mass m=1.50kg straight up in the air. The spring has spring constant k=667 N/m. If the spring is compressed a distance of 19.0 cm 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 all movement occurs in a...

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 320 N/m is mounted on the floor. From directly above the spring, which is unstrained, a 0.23-kg block is dropped from rest. It collides with and sticks to the spring, which is compressed by 3.3 cm in bringing the block to a momentary halt. Assuming air resistance is negligible, from what height above the compressed spring was the block dropped?
