Answer:
A. Both spheres land at the same time.
Explanation:
The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion. Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.
(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.
(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.
<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>
The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²
K.E = 229,900 J
<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>
The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;
K.E = U = ¹/₂kx²
k = 2U/x²
k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²
k = 18,392 N/m
<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>
F = kx
F = 18,392 x 5
F = 91,960 N
<h3>Time of impact</h3>
F = mv/t
t = mv/F
t = (950 x 22)/(91960)
t = 0.23 s

Explanation:
The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :
...........(1)
Where
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of object
It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.
So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".
