Background research is used to familiarize yourself with the topic or problem you're conducting your experiment on and help you form an educated guess explaining or solving it that will become your hypothesis.
In statistics there are different types of distributions, like rectangular, or Poisson, A normal distribution is bellshaped
Answer:
0.345m
Explanation:
Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compress. If we take the point where the spring is compressed as a reference point, then the distance from that point to point where the ball is held is x + 1.1 m.
And so the potential energy of the object at the held point is:

where m = 1.3 kg is the object mass, g = 10m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration and h = x + 1.1 m is the height of the object with respect to the reference point

According to the conservation law of energy, this potential energy is converted to spring elastic energy once it's compressed

where k = 315 is the spring constant and x is the compressed length





x = 0.345 m or x = -0.263 m
Since x can only be positive we will pick the 0.345m
