In a spring gun having spring constant 100N/m a small ball 'B' of mass 100g is put in its barrel (as shown in figure) by compressing the spring through 0.05m. There should be a box placed at a distance 'd' on the ground so that the ball falls in it. If the ball leaves the gun horizontally at a height of 2m above the ground. The value of d is__________m.

Let ball starts its motion with horizontal velocity v0, so with the help of conservation of mechanical energy, we can write

1 2 m v 0 2 = 1 2 m x 2 v 0 = x k m = 0 . 0 5 * 1 0 0 0 . 1 = 0 . 5 * 1 0 m / s              

t = Time required to fall the ball =    2 h g = 2 * 1 1 0 s

= d = v 0 * t = 0 . 5 * 1 0 * 2 * 1 1 0 = 1 m
