A 5 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 6 cm if the marble is to just reach a target 36 m above the marble's position on the compressed spring.
A) What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system during the 36 m ascent?
B) What is the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring during its launch of the marble?
C) What is the spring constant of the spring?
