Answer:
A.Gravity acts to pull the object down
D.The object’s inertia carries it forward.
E.The path of the object is curved.
Explanation:
The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant horizontal speed
- A vertical motion with constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s^2 downward (acceleration due to gravity), due to the presence of the force of gravity, so the vertical velocity changes (increases in the downward direction)
As a result, the combined motion of the projectile has a curved trajectory (parabolic, more specifically). So the following options are correct:
A.Gravity acts to pull the object down --> gravity acts along the vertical direction
D.The object’s inertia carries it forward. --> there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal motion continues with constant speed
E.The path of the object is curved
Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

as we know that




now from above equation we have



so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s
Spring C stretches 100 cm.
Explanation:
The spring constant is simply the stiffness of the spring. The higher the spring constant the more stiff the spring is.
Spring constant shows the force needed to stretch a spring from it's equilibrium position. If a material requires more force to cause it to stretch, it will have a high spring constant.
According to hooke's law "the force needed to extended an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension"
F = ke
k is the spring constant
e is the extension
We see that the spring that stretches by 100 is the less stiff compared to other springs. It has the smallest spring constant.
