We are given that a 500 kg object is hanging from a spring. To determine the amount the spring is stretched we will use Hook's law, which states the following:
Where:
Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:
Where:
Plugging in the values we get:
Solving the operations:
Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":
Now we plug in the known values:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of movement description, specifically those that allow us to find speed and acceleration as a function of distance and not time.
Mathematically we have to
Where,
Final velocity and Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
x = Displacement
From the description given there is no final speed (since it reaches the maximum point) but there is a required initial speed that is contingent on traveling a certain distance under the effects of gravity
Therefore the speed which must a rock thrown straight up is 14*10^2m/s to reach the edge of our atmosphere.
The displacement and gravity traveled are the same, therefore the final speed will be the same but in the opposite vector direction (towards the earth), that is 
Answer:
270000 round into 2 significant figures
= 2.7 × 10⁵
Thus, 2 and 7 are significant figures.
270000 round into 3 significant figures
= 2.70 × 10⁵
Thus, 2, 7 and 0 are significant figures.
