Answer:
the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the ball, m = 40 g = 0.04 kg
spring constant, k = 25 N/m
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
The Elastic potential energy of the spring will be converted into Kinetic of the ball;
Therefore, the maximum speed of the ball is 12.65 m/s
