A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.87-g pellet is placed against the compressed and latched spring. The spring latches at a compression of [04] cm, and it takes a force of 9.13 N to compress the spring to that point. How much work (J) is done by the spring when the latch is released and the pellet leaves the tube?

The work done by the spring is =

Explanation:

Force = torque × length

Given

F = 9.13 N

length (L) = 5.91 cm  = 0.0591 m                         [Note 1 m = 100 cm ]

considering the formula above

             where k denotes torque

explanation:

vestigial organs (like your appendix) are organs that no longer serve a purpose.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
