Answer: height = 3.98m
Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae
p = mgh
p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J
m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg
g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²
4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h
h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8
h = 4610/ 1156.4
h = 3.98m
<em><u>throwing a ball up initially has a lot of kinetic energy because it is moving upwards ( kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) this all then get converted to gravitational potential energy, and for a moment it is stationary before it begins to fall again. by the time it has returned again, all the gravitational potential energy has turned back into kinetic.</u></em>
Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.
Explanation:
When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.
By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.
The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.
F= -kx, where,
F= restoring force
x= displacement or deformation
k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.
Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.

Answer:
The level of seed in each feeder
Explanation:
The independent variable is the variable which is the suspected cause of an observation, it is the variable that produce the effect observed in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured
The independent variable is normally the x-value while the dependent variable is the y-value
In the question, Lana wants to find out the kind of birdseed that the neighborhood birds like (to eat) the most by feeding them different types of birdseed and measuring the level of the birdseed in the feeders at regular intervals
the independent variable is the bird seed types which Lana gives to the birds, to determine the type of bird seeds the birds like
The dependent variable is the level of the seed in the feeder which depends on the type of seeds the birds like.
