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:
The centripetal force will be 1/2 as big as it was. (option c)
Explanation:
Recall that centripetal force (
) is defined as: 
where "v" is the tangential velocity of the object in circular motion, "r" is the radius of rotation and "m" is the object's mass.
So if we start with such formula with a given mass, radius, and tangential velocity, and then we move to a situation where everything stays the same except for the radius which doubles, then the new centripetal force (
) will be given by: 
and this is half (1/2) of the original force:
which is expressed by option "c" of the provided list.
Answer:
12.2 m/s
Explanation:
Initial momentum = final momentum
In the x direction:
(900 kg) (15.0 m/s) = (900 kg + 750 kg) vx
vx = 8.18 m/s
In the y direction:
(750 kg) (20.0 m/s) = (900 kg + 750 kg) vy
vy = 9.09
The magnitude of the velocity is therefore:
v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = 12.2 m/s
