I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!

To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
0.51 m
Explanation:
Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.
Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²
Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring
Potential energy, PE=mgh
Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass
Equating KE=PE
mgh=½kx²
Making x the subject of formula

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then
