A spring in a dart gun is compresscht a distance of 0.05 m. The spring has a spring constant of 1,115 N/m. If the dart has a mass of 0.025 kg, determine the velocity of the dart as it
leaves the dart gun.

Explanation:

ASSUMING that the dart is fired horizontally so that gravity potential energy considerations are not needed. Also ignoring friction work.

The spring potential will convert to kinetic.

KE = PS

½mv² = ½kx²

     v = 10.55935...

     v = 11 m/s

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
