Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:

where F is the force applied, and

is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
Part a)
At t = 0 the position of the object is given as

At t = 2

so displacement of the object is given as

so average speed is given as

Part b)
instantaneous speed is given by


now at t= 0

at t = 1


at t = 2

Part c)
Average acceleration is given as



Part d)
Now for instantaneous acceleration
As we know that

at t = 0

at t = 1

now we have

At t = 2 we have



<em>so above is the instantaneous accelerations</em>
Answer: find the answer in the explanation.
Explanation:
From the experiment set up in the diagram, the pointer is resting on the drinking straw while the rod is resting on the drinking straw.
When the rod is being heated through the bursen burner, there will be linear expansion in the rod. As the rod increases its length, this causes the drinking straw to roll and thereby causing the pointer to rotate.
The pointer therefore rotates because of the thermer expansion that happen in the rod due to the heat from the bursen burner.
T=s/v=>t=1500/1,5=1000s
1,5km=1500m
