A spring-loaded toy gun projects a 6.0 g nerf pellet horizontally. The spring constant is 8.5 N/m, the barrel of the gun is 17 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.032 N exists between the barrel and the nerf pellet. If the spring is compressed 6.5 cm for this launch, determine the speed (in m/s) of the pellet as it leaves the barrel. (Assume the pellet is in contact with the barrel for the full length of the barrel.) 7.62 X m/s

The force on a particle of mass 2.0 kg varies with position according to F(x) = −3.0x2 (x in meters, F(x) in newtons). The particle's speed at x = 3.0 m is 5.5 m/s. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at x = 2.0 m, using the origin as the reference point. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at = 2.0 m, using x = 5.0 mas the reference point.
An object of mass m = 2.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of F = (3N)i + (4N)j. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
Suppose you have a spring (of constant k = 250) and you compress it 10 cm. next to the spring you place a frictionless cart of mass 250 g. The spring is released and the cart is pushed along a horizontal track. What speed (in m/s) does the cart obtain?

An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient ofkinetic friction µ between the object and the surface. The object has speed v when itreaches x=0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and thenrecoils and travels in the opposite direction. When the object reaches x=0 on its returntrip, it stops. Find k, the spring constant, in terms of µ, m, g, and v

This problem uses the ideal spring force in one dimension. F = -kx, where x is the deviation from equilibrium, and k is the spring constant. Calculate the particle's maximum speed (vmax), with these numbers: k = 2000 N/m = 2000 kg/s2 m = 5 kg (the mass of the particle) x0 = 0.2 m (the initial position) v0 = 5 m/s (the initial velocity)
