Answer:
<h2>The angular velocity just after collision is given as</h2><h2>

</h2><h2>At the time of collision the hinge point will exert net external force on it so linear momentum is not conserved</h2>
Explanation:
As per given figure we know that there is no external torque about hinge point on the system of given mass
So here we will have

now we can say

so we will have


Linear momentum of the system is not conserved because at the time of collision the hinge point will exert net external force on the system of mass
So we can use angular momentum conservation about the hinge point
Answer:
Height above a surface
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.
It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.
It is given mathematically as:
P. E. = m*g*h
where m = mass of the body
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height above a surface
m*g represents the weight of the object.
Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of ball Is m=96.1g=0.0961kg
Height above spring is 59.1cm
L=0.591m
Extension of the spring is 4.75403cm
e=0.0475403m
Then the distance the ball traveled is H=L+e
H=0.591+0.0475403
H=0.6385403m
Then, the potential energy of the ball is given as
P.E=mgh
P.E=0.0961×9.81×0.6385403
P.E=0.602J
From conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroy but can be transferred from one form to another
Then, the P.E is transferred to the work done by the spring
Then, Work done by spring is given as
W=½ke²
W=P.E=½×k×0.0475403²
0.602=½×k×0.0475403²
k=0.602×2/0.0475403²
k=532.72N/m
The spring constant is 532.72 N/m
