Aspring driven dart gun propels a 10g dart. it is cocked by exerting a force of 20n over a distance of 5cm. with what speed will the dart leave the gun, assuming the spring has negligible mass?

14 m/s Assuming that all of the energy stored in the spring is transferred to dart, we have 2 equations to take into consideration. 1. How much energy is stored in the spring? 2. How fast will the dart travel with that amount of energy. As for the energy stored, that's a simple matter of multiplication. So: 20 N * 0.05 m = 1 Nm = 1 J For the second part, the energy of a moving object is expressed as KE = 0.5 mv^2 where KE = Kinetic energy m = mass v = velocity Since we now know the energy (in Joules) and mass of the dart, we can substitute the known values and solve for v. So KE = 0.5 mv^2 1 J = 0.5 0.010 kg * v^2 1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.005 kg * v^2 200 m^2/s^2 = v^2 14.14213562 m/s = v So the dart will have a velocity of 14 m/s after rounding to 2 significant figures.

Alinear relationship would look like a straight line on the graph. it could have a positive negative or 0 slope. so it could be a line potentially going in any direction but it must be perfectly straight.
