A bolt gun has a spring of spring constant k = 11 , Nm which is used to fire a bolt of mass m . The bolt leaves the gun at a speed of v = 4.6 , ms after the spring is compressed 1 cm.
a) Determine the mass m of the bolt.
b) Calculate the potential energy stored in the compressed spring.
c) Find the acceleration of the bolt during the launch.
d) Identify the maximum height the bolt reaches.
