A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]

This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.

There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.

If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that.  But the question doesn't give us the time. 

It depends on the material of the surface.  Was the clam dropped onto dirt ? 
Into a dumpster ?  Onto grass ?  Concrete ?  Styrofoam ?  Mud ?  The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.

I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher.  It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

2. A person applies a force of 66 N to a fridge as they push it across the length of a standard tennis court. So far today, the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P=39.2205\, watt

E=374.948 \,cal

Explanation:

Given that:

  • force applied, F=66\,N
  • displacement, s=23.77\,m (length of a tennis court)
  • time taken for pushing, t = 40 s

Since, work is given by:

W=F.s

W=66\times 23.77

W=1568.82\,J

Now, power is given as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

P=\frac{1568.82}{40}

P=39.2205 \,watt

Calories consumed is:

E= 1568.82\times 0.239

E=374.948\, cal
