True, they represent the direction of motion
Answer:

Explanation:
As per energy conservation we know that
initial total gravitational potential energy = final spring potential energy
so we have

also we know that maximum acceleration will be 5.3 g
so it is given as

so we have







Acceleration and velocity in opposite directions
Answer:
7] Force = mass × acceleration
Force = 2 × 5
<u>Force = 10 N</u>
<u></u>
8] Velocity = acceleration due to gravity × time taken
Velocity = 9.8 × 12
<u>Velocity = 117.6 m/s</u>
Answer:
6.0 m below the top of the cliff
Explanation:
We can find the velocity at which the ball dropped from the cliff reaches the ground by using the SUVAT equation

where
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity, we assume downward as positive direction)
h = 24 m is the distance covered
Solving for h,

So the ball thrown upward is launched with this initial velocity:
u = 21.7 m/s
From now on, we take instead upward as positive direction.
The vertical position of the ball dropped from the cliff at time t is

While the vertical position of the ball thrown upward is

The two balls meet when

So the two balls meet after 1.11 s, when the position of the ball dropped from the cliff is

So the distance below the top of the cliff is
