Spring Physics


<div class="wp-block-create-block-problemblock">A student is about to be launched from a spring loaded canon.  The student weighs 60 kg and the spring constant is 200 N/kg.  Find the students velocity the moment he leaves the canon if the spring is compressed, x = 3 m.  Also find the students velocity after the spring has decompressed to x = 2 m.<br /><img src="/old/images/elasticspring.gif"  alt="physics elastic spring problems "></div>
