Solution: The correct order is: C, A, B

The statement of the problem:

How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?

Hypotheis:

If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.

If the Earth was flat, the angle measured at different places at the same time of the day would be same.

Observation:

In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2} kg

Height difference of pellet rise h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03 m

Spring compression x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

  mg(h_{f} -h_{o})  = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Where k = spring constant, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }

  k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }

  k = 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}
