The potential energy of the spring is 6.75 J
The elastic potential energy stored in the spring is given by the equation:
where;
k is the spring constant
x is the compression/stretching of the string
In this problem, we have the spring as follows:
k = 150 N/m is the spring constant
x = 0.3 m is the compression
Substituting in the equation, we get
Therefore. the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is 6.75J .

Answer:
Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g
Explanation:
For an isolated system as given the energy lost and gains in the system will be zero therefore sum of all transfer of energy will be zero,as the temperature will also remain same
A specific heat formula is given as
Energy Change = Mass of liquid x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature
Q = m×c×ΔT
Heat gain by aluminium + heat lost by copper = 0 (1)
For Aluminium:
Q =
Q = m x 17.94 joule
For Copper:
Q= 4996.53 Joule
from eq 1
m x 17.94 = 4996.53
Mass of the aluminium chunk = 278.51 g
