Problem

A toy gun uses a spring of constant 800 N m−1800\,\text{N m}^{-1}. The spring is compressed by 0.15 m0.15\,\text{m} and then released to launch a 0.050 kg0.050\,\text{kg} dart. If only 70%70\% of the elastic potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the dart, find the launch speed of the dart.
