Answer:
0.4455 m
Explanation:
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Total mass is

Here the spring constant is not given so let us assume it as 
Here, the forces are balanced

The springs are compressed by 0.4455 m
Adding thermal energy
Performing work on the system
Answer: polar ice reflecting the Sun's light back toward space
Answer:A
Explanation:
Given
Skier A takes straight, smooth route while Skier B takes curvy, bumpy route to finish.
We know gravity is conservative in nature i.e. work done against it is independent of path followed
So work done by gravity for A and B is same
According to Work energy Theorem Change in the kinetic Energy is equal to work done by all the forces.


where h=vertical height of hill
thus 
which is same for both A and B
Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K
Explanation :
Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.
Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

where,
= efficiency = 0.780
= Temperature of hot reservoir = ?
= Temperature of cold reservoir = 
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:



Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K
