A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau
AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.
