If one afternoon mike gauthier decides to dig a hole through the earth to china for a game of ping pong, how many centuries would elapse before he got there if he dug at a rate of 0.400 miles depth per day and the diameter of the earth is 1.2700 e 7 m?

Awater balloon launcher uses an elastic band with a spring constant of 115 n/m to use thee launcher you stretch thee band back with a balloon n it the water balloons have a mass of 1.3 kg a) if you stretch the band by 0.8 m, what elastic force will the band exert? b) with the band stretched 0.8 m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring? c) if you release the band, it pushes forward. what is the kinetic energy of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band? d) what is the speed of the balloon when it reaches the natural length of the band?
