Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.
Answer:
Because heat is a path function or the energy in transit.
Explanation:
- It is not correct to say that a body contains a certain amount of heat because the heat is a path function and not a property of the system. It is the energy in transit which can be encountered only when it crosses the system boundary.
- Heat is the energy in transit of a matter which flows by the virtue of temperature difference. The heat energy in a body is stored in the form of kinetic energy of the molecules which gets converted into heat that we know as the responsible factor for the rise in temperature usually.
Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m
We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.
The spring constant can be calculated by the formula

Here, k is the spring constant.
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
Substituting the values, the spring constant will be

The potential energy can be calculated as
