Question

A student uses a spring to launch a marble vertically in the air. The mass of the marble is

Answer 1

Answer:

the maximum height reached by the marble is 11.84 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the marble, m = 0.02 kg

extension of the string, x = 0.08 m

force applied to the string, F = 58 N

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

elastic potential energy = gravitational potential energy

¹/₂fx = mgh

$h = \frac{Fx}{2mg} \\\\h = \frac{58 \ \times \ 0.08}{2 \ \times \ 0.02 \ \times \ 9.8} \\\\h = 11.84 \ m$

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the marble is 11.84 m.
