Physics

A spring-loaded gun fires a 0.080-kg puck along a tabletop. Thepuck slides up a curved ramp and flies straight up into theair.


(a) If the spring is displaced 24.0 cm from equilibrium and thespring constant is 875 N/m, how high does the puck rise, neglectingfriction?


x = m

(b) If instead it only rises to a height of 5.00 m because offriction, what is the change in mechanical energy?
Wnc =

a This is a question about conservation of energy It tells you that there is no friction So no energy is dissipated in the system The potential energy stored in the compressed spring has to equal the gain in gravitaional potential energy at the peak height PEspringPEgrav    See Answer
