Answer:
271.862 N/m
Explanation:
From Hook's Law,
mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1
Where
m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.
Making k the subject of the equation,
k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2
Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.
Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m
Substitute into equation 2
k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²
k = 0.6346696/0.0023345
k = 271.862 N/m
Bella’s average velocity is about 0.693 meters per second.
To find the average velocity, you must divide the distance by the change in time, which should look like v=d/t
Here is how you set up the equation-
v=6.1/8.8
Once you divide 6.1 meters by 8.8 seconds, you should get a number that looks like 0.69318182.... however, I just rounded it to 0.693 meters per second. You can round it to whatever you like.
Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I mentioned in my answer or explanation, feel free to comment on my answer and I’ll try to get back to you!
