Question

A powerful slingshot has an elastic band that is pulled back until a maximum spring force of Fma x

is encountered (maximum force the person can exert). A projectile of mass M is released from

rest. Which of the following strategies could be applied to ensure the max projectile speed leaving the slingshot? Assume the same person is using the slingshot, i.e., same F

ma x

Replace the elastic band with a stiffer one (higher spring constant k).

Replace the elastic band with a softer one (lower spring constant k)
