A spring gun is used to fire a 0.02-kg projectile straight up into the air. The force constant of
the spring is 800 N/s, and the spring is compressed 0.05 m.

(b) Now suppose air resistance is important and the project goes 3 m high. What is the average
air resistance force acting on the projectile on its way up?

i could figure out the other parts, but have trouble with b because it involves force

anonymous · Answer

without air resistance, it reaches a height of 5.1 m
