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:
Explanation:
Case 1:
mass = m
initial velocity = vo
final velocity = 0
height = y
Use third equation of motion
v² = u² - 2as
0 = vo² - 2 g y
y = vo² / 2g ... (1)
Case 2:
mass = 2m
initial velocity = 2vo
final velocity = 0
height = y '
Use third equation of motion
v² = u² - 2as
0 = 4vo² - 2 g y'
y ' = 4vo² / 2g
y' = 4 y
Thus, the second rock reaches the 4 times the distance traveled by the first rock.
It depends on the mass of an object and acceleration because of the gravity and the height of an object
