A spring within a spring launcher is compressed a distance, x, and locked into position by a pin at point P. A spherical ball M is placed onto the compressed spring. When the pin is removed, the spring accelerates the ball upwards until the ball then reaches some maximum height above the spring, HM. Assume the compression of the spring is small in comparison to the maximum height reached by the launched ball. The ball is then replaced by a ball with a quarter of the mass, M. The same spring is 4 compressed the same distance, x, and the new ball is launched. HM In terms of HM, determine the maximum height reached by the lighter ball.

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.
