<h2>
The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Time, t = 3 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²
s = 44.145 m
The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
Answer:
6.86 meters
Explanation:
Let the compression of the string be represented by x, and the height of projection of the toy rocket be represented by h.
So that;
x = 9 cm = 0.09 m
In its rest position (i.e before the launch), the spring has a stored potential energy which is given as;
PE =
K
=
x 830 x 
= 415 x 0.0081
= 3.3615
The potential energy in the string = 3.36 Joules
Also,
PE = mgh
where: m is the mass, g is the gravitational force and h the height.
m = 50 g = 0.05 kg, g = 9.8 m
Thus,
PE = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.05 x 9.8 x h
3.3615 = 0.49h
⇒ h = 
= 6.8602
The height of the toy rocket would be 6.86 meters.
