It MUST be either glue or gravity.
Answer:
When displacement is zero, the particle may be at rest, therefore, distance travelled = 0.
Again, when displacement is zero, the final position matches with the initial position after some time, but the distance travelled will not be zero.
Answer:
3.258 m/s
Explanation:
k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)
x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)
= Coefficient of friction = 0.4
Energy stored in spring is given by

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s
A pot of soup because metal is a better conductor of heat and it stores more heat as well. thermal energy is heat energy.
Answer:
The answer cannot be determined.
Explanation:
The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy
, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.
The change in temperature
then will be

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and
is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.
Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
