D) A gallon of gasoline definitely. Gas is like, if not a chemical. It will have the most.

There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness". "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.
Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .
Answer:
The railroad tracks are 13 m above the windshield (12 m without intermediate rounding).
Explanation:
First, let´s calculate the time it took the driver to travel the 27 m to the point of impact.
The equation for the position of the car is:
x = v · t
Where
x = position at time t
v = velocity
t = time
x = v · t
27 m = 17 m/s · t
27 m / 17 m/s = t
t = 1.6 s
Now let´s calculate the distance traveled by the bolt in that time. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference at the height of the windshield:
The position of the bolt will be:
y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²
Where
y = height of the bolt at time t
y0 = initial height of the bolt
g = acceleration due to gravity
t = time
Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the windshield, at time 1.6 s the height of the bolt will be 0 m (impact on the windshield). Then, we can calculate the initial height of the bolt which is the height of the railroad tracks above the windshield:
y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²
0 = y0 -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.6 s)²
y0 = 13 m
Answer:
a)5.88J
b)-5.88J
c)0.78m
d)0.24m
Explanation:
a) W by the block on spring is given by
W= 
kx² = (530)(0.149)² = 5.88 J
b) Workdone by the spring = - Workdone by the block = -5.88J
c) Taking x = 0 at the contact point we have U top = U bottom
So, mg
= kx² - mgx
And, = ( kx² - mgx
)/(mg) = 
]/(0.645x9.8)
= 0.78m
d) Now, if the initial initial height of block is 3
= 3 x 0.78 = 2.34m
then, kx² - mgx - mg =0
(530)x² - [(0.645)(9.8)x] - [(0.645)(9.8)(2.34) = 0
265x² - 6.321x - 14.8 = 0
a=265
b=-6.321
c=-14.8
By using quadratic eq. formula, we'll have the roots
x= 0.24 or x=-0.225
Considering only positive root:
x= 0.24m (maximum compression of the spring)
