$A$ toy gun fires a plastic pellet with a mass of $0.5\ g$. The pellet is propelled by a spring with a spring constant of $1.25\ N/cm$, which is compressed $2.0\ cm$ before firing. The plastic pellet travels horizontally $10\ cm$ down the barrel (from its compressed position) with a constant friction force of $0.0475\ N$. What is the speed (in $SI\ units$) of the bullet as it emerges from the barrel?

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $7$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $11$
