A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.30-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the spring decompresses and returns to its equilibrium length, causing the ball to speed up, before the ball enters the horizontal barrel of the cannon. The horizontal barrel is 15.0 cm long and it exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 N on the ball. Required:
a. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon?
b. At what point does the ball have maximum speed?
c. What is this maximum speed?
