A toy gun uses a spring constant to project horizontally a 5.3g soft rubber sphere. The spring constant is 8.0N/m, the barrel of the gun is 15cm, and a constant frictional force of 0.032N exists between barrel and sphere. With what speed does the sphere leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.0cm for this launch?
The answer to the problem was given to us and it is 1.4 m/s.
I need to understand this type of problem, so the more details, the better. Thanks in advance.
