DETAILS MY NOTES A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.28-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 4.90 cm and has a force constant of 8.01 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.9 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 3 N on the ball. ASK YOUR TEACHER (a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? m/s (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its original position) (c) What is this maximum speed? m/sarrow_forwardSara used a sling shot to hunt a bird.

- 1. An object with m = 2.6 kg is on top of a hill and is pressed against spring with k = 300 N/m. The spring is compressed by x = 0.55 m. The hill is 2.5 m high. The object is released and after the spring is decompressed it slides down the hill to the bottom. It does experience riction which does work of W = -92 J. At the bottom of the hill what is the object's kinetic nergy and what is its velocity? %3D %3Darrow_forwardA horizontal force of 150 N is applied to push a 40.0 kg box a distance 6.00 m on a rough horizontal surface.
