Homework Statement
A vertical Spring (ignoring mass) whose spring constant is 875N/m is attached to a table and is compressed down by .160m. What upward speed can it give to a .350kg ball when released? How high up its original position will the ball fly?
Homework Equations
Spring constant = 1/2Kx^2
Potential energy with gravity = mgh
I'm guessing my equation would look something like this?
1/2mv1+mgy1=1/2mv2+1/2kx2
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right so far. This is all I've gotten to.
