Question: a 3 . 2 7 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. the spring must be compressed 8 . 7 6 cm

a 3.27 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. the spring must be compressed 8.76 cm if the marble is to just reach a target 19.2 m above the marble's position on the compressed spring. (a) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system during the 19.2 m ascent? (b) what is the change in the elastic potential energy of the spring during its launch of the marble? (c) what is the spring constant of the spring?
