Walker, Halliday & Resnick — Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 13
13 A 5.0 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 8.0 cm if the marble is to just reach a target 20 m above the marble’s position on the compressed spring. (a) What is the change \(\Delta U_g\) in the gravitational potential energy of the marble–Earth system during the 20 m ascent? (b) What is the change \(\Delta U_s\) in the elastic potential energy of the spring during its launch of the marble? (c) What is the spring constant of the spring?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 13 A, 5.0 g, 8.0 cm, 20 m
Find: (a) What is the change \; (b) What is the change \; (c) What is the spring constant of the spring?
