The projectile launcher shown below will give the object on the right an inital horizontal speed of 7.90 m/s. While the other object will be dropped with no initial speed. The objects are initially 132 cm above the ground. What will be the difference in the speeds of the two objects when they reach the ground?

Thanks!

A cannon is rigidly attached to a carriage, which can move along horizontal rails but is connected to a post by a large spring, initially unstretched and with force constant k = 2.05 ✕ 104 N/m, as shown in the figure below. The cannon fires a 200 kg projectile at a velocity of 125 m/s directed 45.0° above the horizontal. An illustration shows a carriage whose wheels are moving along horizontal rails. The carriage is horizontal to the rail. A...
