A 50.0 kg circus performer jumps from a platform into a safety net below. The net, which has a force constant of 5.0 × 104 N/m, is stretched by 0.40 m. If the unstretched net is positioned 1.00 m above the ground, what is the height of the platform above the ground? (Ignore the effects of air resistance.)

Estimate the kinetic energy of mars with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms, that due to its daily rotation about its axis, and that due to its yearly revolution about the sun. (assume mars is a uniform sphere with mass = 6.4×10 to the power of 23 kg, radius = 3.4×10 to the power of 6 m, rotation period = 24.7 hours, orbital period = 686 days and is 2.3×10 to the power of 8 km from the sun.)
