Well my thinking is that the lighter the slower the water evaporates or the darker the faster becuase dark colors absorb light and allows a lot of heat to be generated or not at all.
There's not enough information to find an answer.
I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
Answer
given,
mass of glider = 0.23 Kg
spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m
spring stretched to 0.130 m
The springs potential energy =


U = 0.038 J
at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .


v² = 0.3304
v = 0.575 m/s
displacement of the glider
using conservation of energy



x = 0.678 m
Well over time the temperature of the water increase causeing its moleclues to move alot which causes it's state change to a gas this is who we have rain.
