A dart gun has a spring of spring constant k = 13 N/m which is used to shoot a dart of mass m. The dart leaves the gun at a speed of v = 3.7 m/s after the spring is compressed 1 cm. What is the weight, Fg in Newtons, of the dart?   What is the dart’s speed when it hits the floor vf, in m/s, if it is fired horizontally at a height of h = 2 meters? What angle, θ in degrees, does the dart's final velocity make with the horizontal?
