<span>EP (potential energy) = mgy -> (59)(9.8)(-5) = -2,891
EP + EK (kinetic energy) = 0; but rearranging it for EK makes it EK = -EP, such that EK = 2891 when plugged in.
EK = 0.5mv^2, but can also be v = sqrt(2EK/m).
Plugging that in for sqrt((2 * 2891)/59), we get 9.9 m/s^2 with respect to significant figures.</span>
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, m = 7.11 kg
Spring constant of the spring, k = 61.6 N/m
Speed of the observer, 
We need to find the time period of oscillation observed by the observed. The time period of oscillation is given by :

Time period of oscillation measured by the observer is :

So, the time period of oscillation measured by the observer is 5.79 seconds.
Answer:
150.8 J
Explanation:
The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

where:
m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire
Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper
is the change in temperature of the wire
Substituting into the equation, we find

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.
