The fraction of energy that is lost is 25%, it depends how fast the ball was going until it lost 25% of its energy, the gravitational energy was transferred into the kinetic energy that helped the ball bounce back
(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

D. The man's traits (ff) would be recessive and with one of the girls (FF), all their offspring would have the genotype Ff, meaning all the offspring have freckles.
Answer: 7200 m
Explanation: The solution is, first convert 15 minutes to seconds.
15 mins x 60 s / 1 min = 900 s
Use the formula for speed which is v= d/t then derive for d.
d = vt
= 8 m/s ( 900s)
= 7200 m
All are true except the first two.
