Homework Statement
I'm given the mass of the object and acceleration (gravity), and I'm given the pull back distance of one test of the slingshot. I've found the k constant by finding force with f=ma, but I need to find the pull back distance using the same slingshot in order to propel the object a certain distance. My question is that because the distance seems to have no effect on the force, (because it is only mass times acceleration), if I solved for the pull back distance with the force, wouldn't I get the same pull back distance that i used with the first equation?
