What do we know that might help here ?
-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.
Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.
That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.
How about the other graphs ?
-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases. That can't be right.
-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all. That can't be right.
-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN. That can't be right.

Answer: 10.3m/s
Explanation:
In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:
Eq(1): distance = velocity times time <=> d = v*t for v=constant.
If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:
Eq(2): velocity = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t
Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:
v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
Answer:
y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm
Explanation:
The spring mass system is an oscillatory movement that is described by the equation
y = yo cos (wt + φ)
Let's look for the terms of this equation the amplitude I
y₀ = 19.2 cm
Angular velocity is
w = √ (k / m)
w = √ (245 / 0.457
w = 23.15 rad / s
The φ phase is determined for the initial condition t = 0 s
, the velocity is negative v (0) = -vo
The speed of the equation is obtained by the derivative with respect to time
v = dy / dt
v = - y₀ w sin (wt + φ)
For t = 0
-vo = -yo w sin φ
The angular and linear velocity are related v = w r
v₀ = w r₀
v₀ = v₀ sinφ
sinφ = 1
φ = sin⁻¹ 1
φ = π / 4 rad
Let's build the equation
y = 19.2 cos (23.15 t + π/ 4)
Let's use the trigonometric ratio π/ 4 = 90º
Cos (a +90) = cos a cos90 - sin a sin sin 90 = 0 - sin a
y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm
