- A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 14 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.026 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.3 cm for this launch?

- The spring force is initially greater than friction, so the block accelerates forward. But eventually the spring force decreases enough so that it is le (decelerates). In a physics lab experiment, one end of a horizontal spring that obeys Hooked's law is attached to a wall. The spring is compressed æo = 0.400 m, and a block with mass 0.300 kg is attached to horizontal surface. Electronic sensors measure the speed v of the block after it has traveled a distance d from its initial position against the compressed spring. The measured The spring is then released, and the block moves along a O The spring force is always less than friction, so the block decelerates all the time. values are listed in the table below.
