Hey there!
No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.
Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)
T = 4.68 s
Explanation:
Part a)
Shell is fired at speed of 40 m/s at angle of 35 degree
so here we have


since gravity act opposite to vertical speed of the shell so at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical component of the speed will become zero
so at the highest point the speed is given

Part b)
After completing the motion we know that the displacement of the object will be zero in Y direction
so we have




Answer:
the extension recorded by the student would be smaller than the actual extension of the spring
Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.
