You can try to explain it by using a parallel between their and your societies .
Answer:
Density of iron is higher than the density of oxygen because iron is solid and the particles in it are very compact but oxygen is not dense as it is gas and particles in it are loosely packed.
Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:

The total energy at the point h=0m is:

The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:

According to another source this is what I got
<span>0.735 J ( Ep-potential energy, m-mass,g-gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s², h-height; Ep = m * g * h; Ep = 0.0300 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 2.5 m )

This is the same question that I just answered.
Have present the definition of acceleration:
a = Δv / Δt, this is change in velocity per unit of time.
a and v are in bold to mean that they are vectors.
1) a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed: CORRECT:
Acceleration is the change in velocity, either magnitude or direction or both. So, a body increasing in speed is accelerated.
2) a body traveling in a straight line and decreasing in speed: CORRECT
A decrease in speed is a change in velocity, so it means acceleration.
3) a body traveling in a straight line at constant speed: FALSE.
That body is not changing either direction or speed so its motion is not accelerated but uniform.
4) a body standing still : FALSE.
That body is not changind either direction or speed.
5) a body traveling at a constant speed and changing direction: CORRECT.
The change in direction means that the body is accelerated. The acceleration due to change in direction is named centripetal acceleration.
