Answer:
t = 0.029s
Explanation:
In order to calculate the interaction time at the moment of catching the ball, you take into account that the force exerted on an object is also given by the change, on time, of its linear momentum:
(1)
m: mass of the water balloon = 1.20kg
Δv: change in the speed of the balloon = v2 - v1
v2: final speed = 0m/s (the balloon stops in my hands)
v1: initial speed = 13.0m/s
Δt: interaction time = ?
The water balloon brakes if the force is more than 530N. You solve the equation (1) for Δt and replace the values of the other parameters:

The interaction time to avoid that the water balloon breaks is 0.029s
Answer:
Explanation:
A mass of 700 kg will exert a force of
700 x 9.8
= 6860 N.
Amount of compression x = 4 cm
= 4 x 10⁻² m
Force constant K = force of compression / compression
= 6860 / 4 x 10⁻²
= 1715 x 10² Nm⁻¹.
Let us take compression of r at any moment
Restoring force by spring
= k r
Force required to compress = kr
Let it is compressed by small length dr during which force will remain constant.
Work done
dW = Force x displacement
= -kr -dr
= kr dr
Work done to compress by length d
for it r ranges from 0 to -d
Integrating on both sides
W = 
= [ kr²/2]₀^-4
= 1/2 kX16X10⁻⁴
= .5 x 1715 x 10² x 16 x 10⁻⁴
= 137.20 J
