Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Potential Energy and Conservation of Energy: Problem 130

Spring gun. The spring of a spring gun is compressed distance \(d = 3.2 \text{ cm}\) from its relaxed state, and a ball of mass \(m = 12 \text{ g}\) is put in the barrel. With what speed will the ball leave the barrel once the gun is fired? The spring constant \(k\) is \(7.5 \text{ N/cm}\). Assume no friction and a horizontal gun barrel.
