(а). A smаll rubber bаll is launched by a cоmpressed-air cannоn frоm ground level with an initial speed of 15.7 m/s directly upward. Choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. Using the law of conservation of energy or otherwise (i). Using the law of conservation of energy or otherwise, calculate the maximum height above ground that the reaches before falling backdown. (1.5 points) (ii). How long does it take to reach the maximum height? (1.5 points) (b). A 2.5 kg mass hangs vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches by 2.78 cm. (i). Calculate the spring constant. (1.5 points) (ii). How work is done in stretching this spring by 2.78 cm. (1.5 points)
