Solution

1. A ball gun uses a spring to accelerate
the steel ball from rest to a speed of 6.30 m/s. The spring provides the acceleration over a
distance of approximately 7.00 x 10-2 m. What is the acceleration
provided by the spring?
|
|
|
|
2. If the ball is launched
horizontally 0.90 m above the floor, how long will it take to hit the floor?
|
|
|
|
3. How far horizontally will the ball travel
when launched horizontally assuming the muzzle velocity is 6.30 m/s and the
ball is in the air for 0.525 s before it hits the ground.

4. If the ball is now
launched at a 35.0° angle above the horizontal and this places the ball
at 1.20 m above the floor, how long is the ball in the air before striking
the floor? Initial velocity is still
6.30 m/s.

|
|

|
|
|
5. What is the final horizontal speed just
before the ball touches the ground?
Initial velocity is still 6.30 m/s, launch angle is still 35.0°, and
use a time in the air of 0.990 s.
