A bolt gun includes a spring of spring constant k = 19 N/m which is used to shoot a bolt of mass m. The bolt leaves the gun at a speed of v = 4.3 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm.
Part (a) What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the bolt?
Part (b) What is the bolt's speed when it hits the floor vf, in m/s, if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 meters?
Part (c) What angle, θ¸ in degrees, does the bolt's final velocity make with the horizontal?
