D. The graduated cylinder is used to find the volume, and triple beam balance is used to find the mass.
I believe the answer is the second one.
Explanation:
We have,
Mass of an object is 0.5 kg
Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m
The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.
(A) The force acting on the object is given by :
F = kx

(B) The force is simply given by :
F = ma
a is acceleration at that instant

The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.
Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.
p=p'
pa+pb = pa'+pb'
(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')
- ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
- mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
- va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
- va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
- vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
- vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
- p = momentum before collision (Ns)
- p' = momentum after collision (Ns)
(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')
(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)
(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800
(1,783×va) = 27,064

va = 15.18 m/s
