We know, by conservation of energy :

Therefore,

Putting given values, we get :

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.
Hence, this is the required solution.
To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
Answer:
10 km East
Displacement is the shortest path between two points.
Answer:
distance between the dime and the mirror, u = 0.30 m
Given:
Radius of curvature, r = 0.40 m
magnification, m = - 2 (since,inverted image)
Solution:
Focal length is half the radius of curvature, f = 
f = 
Now,
m = - 
- 2 = -
= 2 (2)
Now, by lens maker formula:


v =
(3)
From eqn (2):
v = 2u
put v = 2u in eqn (3):
2u = 
2 = 
2(u - 0.20) = 0.20
u = 0.30 m
