Hi there!
Assuming the track is frictionless:

Cancel out the masses and rearrange to solve for velocity:

Plug in the given height and let g = 9.8 m/s²:

I believe the answer is C
Hope this helps :)
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference

is

where
m=432 g is the mass of the water

is the specific heat capacity of water

is the decrease of temperature of the water
Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find

and this is the amount of heat released by the water.
Answer:
0.358Kg
Explanation:
The potential energy in the spring at full compression = the initial kinetic energy of the bullet/block system
0.5Ke^2 = 0.5Mv^2
0.5(205)(0.35)^2 = 12.56 J = 0.5(M + 0.0115)v^2
Using conservation of momentum between the bullet and the block
0.0115(265) = (M + 0.0115)v
3.0475 = (M + 0.0115)v
v = 3.0475/(M + 0.0115)
plugging into Energy equation
12.56 = 0.5(M + 0.0115)(3.0475)^2/(M + 0.0115)^2
12.56 = 0.5 × 3.0475^2 / ( M + 0.0115 )
12.56 = 0.5 × 9.2872/ M + 0.0115
12.56 = 4.6436/ M + 0.0115
12.56 ( M + 0.0115 ) = 4.6436
12.56M + 0.1444 = 4.6436
12.56M = 4.6436 - 0.1444
12.56 M = 4.4992
M = 4.4992÷12.56
M = 0.358 Kg
The answer is b.) the momentum before the collision is greater than the momentum after the collision
