Answer:
The same amount of energy is required to either stretch or compress the spring.
Explanation:
The amount of energy required to stretch or compress a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring:

where
k is the spring constant
is the stretch/compression of the spring
In the first case, the spring is stretched from x=0 to x=d, so

and the amount of energy required is

In the second case, the spring is compressed from x=0 to x=-d, so

and the amount of energy required is

so we see that the amount of energy required is the same.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity, u = 11.3 m/s
Angle above the horizontal, 
Time of flight :

Horizontal distance traveled is given by :
x = ut
x = 11.3 m/s × 1.32 s
x = 14.916 m
Maximum height is given by :

Hence, time of flight is 1.32 s, horizontal distance is 14.916 m and maximum height is 2.14 m.
Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is 
Explanation:
First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.
Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.
Mathematically,

where, Q = heat energy
W = work energy
= Change in internal energy
Sign convention for these energies:
For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.
For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.
For
: When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.
Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is 
Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
Average speed = distance travelled / time used
