CASE STUDY Concept Exercise 27.1 (page 829), we ignored air resistance acting on the ring launched by the experimenters in the case study. How would including air resistance change your answer to the question about the size of the spring? Does air resistance require that more, less, or the same amount of electric potential energy be stored in the spring? Explain your answers.
