The height of the ball is 2.45 m.
To calculate the height of the ball, we use the formula below.
<h3>Formula</h3>
- E = mgh................ Equation 1
Where:
- E = Elastic energy of the spring
- m = mass of the ball
- h = height of the ball
- g = acceleration due to gravity.
make h the subject of the equation
- h = E/mg...............Equation 2
From the question,
Given:
- E = 7.2 J
- m = 0.3 kg
- g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 2
- h = 7.2/(0.3×9.8)
- h = 7.2/2.94
- h = 2.45 m
Hence, The height of the ball is 2.45 m.

To determine the distance (d) traveled by a body given its speed (S) and the time (t). Use the equation,
S = d / t ; d = S x t
Substituting the known values to the equation,
d = (4 m/s ) x (40 s) = 160 m
Thus, the person will travel 160 meters in 40 seconds.
A can opener makes work easier by increasing force.
Explanation
Technically a can opener is a simple lever that increases the force with which we remove the cap of the can. Levers are rod shaped objects with fulcrum at one end and the length of the lever has a positive impact on the force.
considering the equation
work=force*distance
indicates that increasing the length of the lever/can opener increases the work done by it.
