a spring is used to launch a ball vertically into the air. the spring has a spring constant of 200N/m and is compressed by 5 cm. if a ball of 10g is placed above the spring, what is the height reached by the ball assuming all the elastic potential energy is converted to gravitational potential energy?

    2.55 m

    Explanation:

    Elastic energy = gravitational energy

    ½ kx² = mgh

    h = kx² / (2mg)

    h = (200 N/m) (0.05 m) ² / (2 * 0.010 kg * 9.8 m/s²)

    h = 2.55 m
