Hello There
Answers: T<span>he elastic potential energy can be increased by: </span>
<span>1) Getting a spring with a higher spring constant</span>
<span>2) Increasing the length at which the spring is compressed.
Reasons: Getting a stronger spring makes it stronger which equals more energy. While increasing the compression on the spring, increases the stored energy which makes it more powerful when its released
I hope this helps

Answer:
-387883.3 m/s²
0.000286168546055 seconds
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 370 m/s
v = Final velocity = 259 m/s
s = Displacement = 9 cm
a = Acceleration

The acceleration of the bullet is -387883.3 m/s²

The time taken is 0.000286168546055 seconds
