A bowling ball of mass m=1.7kg is launched from a spring compressed by a distance d=0.48 m at an angle theta=35 degrees from the horizontal. It is observed that ball reaches a maximum height of h=4.9m, measured from the initial position of the ball. Let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the bowling ball.Part A) What is the spring constant k, in newtons per meter?
Part B) Calculate the speed of the ball, vo in m/s, just after the launch.
