D. The red car is moving faster than the blue car
Answer:
t=1.623 sec
Explanation:
The distance traveled before the echo is had is:

Given the speed of sound as v=345m/s, we use the speed equation to solve for t:

Hence, it takes 1.623 seconds to hear the echo.
Answer:
0.0312J
Explanation:
Let x be the distance the staple moves:

And spring constant is 

Hence, the potential energy is 0.0312J
