In a spring-loaded gun, a ball is launched horizontally by compressing a horizontal spring with the ball and releasing it. If the spring constant of the spring is 110 N/m, the ball compresses the spring from its unstrained position by 12 cm, and the mass of the ball is 0.0023 kg, what is the speed of the ball just after leaving the gun? Ignore gravity and air resistance. choices: -26 m/s -32 m/s - 47 m/s
