We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A particle moving on a plane curve what is the degree of freedom
kirill115 [55]

A particle confined to move along a curved path has only one degree of freedom. inclined plane are some examples of constrained motion. Every condition of constraint reduces the number of degree of freedom by one.

I hope this helps!

. A huge pile of leaves was wrapped in a tarp in the middle of a lawn. The wrapped leaves weigh 580 newtons. The coefficient of
Rina8888 [55]

The force required is 319 N

Explanation:

The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:

F_f = \mu W

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

W is the weight of the object

Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.

For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:

\mu = 0.55 (coefficient of friction)

W=580 N (weight of the leaves)

Substituting, we find:

F=(0.55)(580)=319 N
