You don't even know physics until you answer this!?

Question

Determine the amount of spring compression necessary to fira a projectile a certain horizontal distance and determine how the firing angle plays a role in the horizontal range of the projectile. Then you need to prove your calculations by demonstrating your projectile launcher's accuracy by hitting a pre-determined target. Good Luck!

Answer 1

Since this is a simple spring, F=kx, force equals stiffness times displacement.

Now, Newton also tells us that F=ma

So ma = kx

Now, you need to take into gravitation. The greatest distance will be achieved, if you point the launcher at 45 degree angle.

I agree with the prior responder, that you haven't given us the stiffness of the spring, the weight of the projectile, nor the range.
Detailed analysis requires all of these facts.

Answer 2

First, we would need to know the material that is being used for the spring and how large the spring is.

Answer 3

Gosh, I didn't realize physics was so simple. No optics, electromagnetics, thermodynamics, or quantum mechanics?

Answer 4

ill tell you after you learn to spell the word-fire ( f-i-r-e)

Answer 5

........not to mention you gave us some info we REALLY don't need: the arrogance of your headline.
