A block of mass 0.249 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 4 975 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.107 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

h = 11.67 m

Explanation:

Mass, m = 0.249 kg

Spring constant, k = 4975 N/m

Compression, x = 0.107 m

Energy stored in the spring,W, is:

W = 0.5kx²

W = 0.5*4975*0.107²

W = 28.48N·m

The potential energy is given by the formula:

PE = mgh

PE = 0.249*9.8*h

PE = 2.4402h

According to energy conservation principle, Potential Energy = spring energy.

That is, PE = W

2.4402h = 28.48

h = 28.48/2.4402

h = 11.67 m

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
