Answer:
284.4233 N/m
Explanation:
k = Spring constant
x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm
U = Potential energy = 2.99 J
The potential energy of a spring is given by

Rearranging to get the value of k

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell.
Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h
Which means KE = m·g·h
We can solve for h:
h = KE / m·g
= 20 / (0.15 · 9.8)
= 13.6m
The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
The volume decreases, by a factor of
(the original pressure/(125 kPa).
Answer:
0.03167 m
1.52 m
Explanation:
x = Compression of net
h = Height of jump
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
The potential energy and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved

The spring constant of the net is 20130.76 N
From Hooke's Law

The net would strech 0.03167 m
If h = 35 m
From energy conservation

Solving the above equation we get

The compression of the net is 1.52 m
