Question: A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5 . 2 8 - g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.28-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.02 cm and has a force constant of 8.08 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.5 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.0319 N on the ball.
(a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon? (b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed?
