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?
m/s

(b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed?
cm (from its original position)

(c) What is this maximum speed?

A toy gun shoots spherical plastic projectiles by means of a spring. A typical projectile has a mass of m = 25 g. The spring used has a spring constant of k = 18.6 N/m, and when put under load, it is displaced 10 cm, as shown in Figure P6.92. The barrel of the gun exerts a slight frictional force, Ffriction= -0.1512 N, on the pellet as it moves down the barrel from its starting point over a total length...
