Well first you need to know the formula for the spring force. It’s -1/2k*d

K being the constant

D being the displacement

We can actually find the force on the spring by calculating the weight of the block. It would be mass multiplied by gravity, convert the grams to kilograms first tho.

600/1000 = 0.6kg

0.6kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 5.88N

Now plug everything into the equation, also convert the centimeters to meters:

1.2/100 = 0.012 meters

5.88 = -1/2k*(0.012)

5.88 = k*(0.006)

We could drop the negative sign because we really just want the magnitude of the spring constant.

K = 980N

Answer:

a) x component = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

A position is 4km north and 2.5 km east to B

Ship A velocity = 22 km/hr

ship B velocity = 40 km/hr

A velocity wrt to velocity of B

$\vec{V_{AB}} =\vec{V_A} - \vec{V_B}$

$\vec{V_A} = 22 km/hr$

$\vec{V_B} = 40 cos38\hat{i} + 40sin 38 \hat{j}$

$= 31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j}$

putting respective value to get velocity of A with respect to B

$\vec{V_{AB}} = -22 \hat {j} - (31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j})$

$\vec{V_{AB}} = -31.52\hat{i} - 46.62\hat{j}$

a) x component = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Shtirlitz [24]

Cp shows the amount of energy needed to raise temperature by one degree for one gram of water.

Formula for calculating cp is:
$cp= \frac{energy}{(mass)*( temperature_{change} ))} \\ temperature_{change}= \frac{energy}{(mass)*( cp))} \\ \\ temperature_{change}= \frac{16700}{(350)*( 4.18))} \\ \\ temperature_{change}=2.73 \\ \\ temperature_{final} =temperature_{initial}+temperature_{change} \\ temperature_{final}=24 + 2.73 \\ temperature_{final}=26.73$

Final temperature is 26.73°C.
