Option 2 is your answer :)
Answer:
0.853 m/s
Explanation:
Total energy stored in the spring = Total kinetic energy of the masses.
1/2ke² = 1/2m'v².................... Equation 1
Where k = spring constant of the spring, e = extension, m' = total mass, v = speed of the masses.
make v the subject of the equation,
v = e[√(k/m')].................... Equation 2
Given: e = 39 cm = 0.39 m, m' = 0.4+0.4 = 0.8 kg, k = 1.75 N/cm = 175 N/m.
Substitute into equation 2
v = 0.39[√(1.75/0.8)
v = 0.39[2.1875]
v = 0.853 m/s
Hence the speed of each mass = 0.853 m/s
1 mile. Is this a joke lol
So we have a structured form, but can still move. If we had a cell wall we would be stiff objects since it’s just a cell membrane we can still have movement
The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.
