Answer:
Part a)

Part b)
Direction = upwards
Explanation:
When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m
then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as



Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m
so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as



Part a)
Average acceleration is given as



Part B)
As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards
So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards
Spring C stretches 100 cm.
Explanation:
The spring constant is simply the stiffness of the spring. The higher the spring constant the more stiff the spring is.
Spring constant shows the force needed to stretch a spring from it's equilibrium position. If a material requires more force to cause it to stretch, it will have a high spring constant.
According to hooke's law "the force needed to extended an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension"
F = ke
k is the spring constant
e is the extension
We see that the spring that stretches by 100 is the less stiff compared to other springs. It has the smallest spring constant.
