Question
A bolt gun has a spring of spring constant k = 14 N/m which is used to fire a bolt of mass m. The bolt leaves the gun at a speed of v = 5.8 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm.
What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the bolt?
What is the bolt’s speed when it hits the floor vf, in m/s, if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 meters?
