I have a question about a spring gun. Suppose the barrel of a spring gun is placed horizontally at the edge of a horizontal table. You put say a marble in the barrel and compress the spring x cm and after releasing the marble it travels a horizontal distance of y cm before hitting the floor (so motion is of a projectile). My question is whether or not the horizontal distance traveled and the amount the spring is compresses make a linear relationship? If so, then how can I prove this? This is not homework.
Thanks!
