Acceleration I think if I’m not mistaken
Answer:
Stretch can be obtained using the Elastic potential energy formula.
The expression to find the stretch (x) is 
Explanation:
Given:
Elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring mass system and the spring constant (k) are given.
To find: Elongation in the spring (x).
We can find the elongation or stretch of the spring using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy (EPE).
The formula to find EPE is given as:
Rewriting the above expression in terms of 'x', we get:
Example:
If EPE = 100 J and spring constant, k = 2 N/m.
Elongation or stretch is given as:
Therefore, the stretch in the spring is 10 m.
So, stretch in the spring can be calculated using the formula for Elastic Potential Energy.
According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. They are just transferred from one system to another. To obey this law, the energy of the substances inside the container must be equal to the substance added to it. The energy is in the form of heat. There can be two types of heat energy: latent heat and sensible heat. Sensible heat is energy added or removed when a substance changes in temperature. Latent heat is the energy added or removed at a constant temperature during a phase change. Since there is no mention of phase change, we assume the heat involved here is sensible heat. The equation for sensible heat is:
H = mCpΔT
where
m is the mass of the substance
Cp is the specific heat of a certain type of material or substance
ΔT is the change in temperature.
So the law of conservation of heat tells that:
Sensible heat of Z + Sensible heat of container = Sensible heat of X
Since we have no idea what these substances are, there is no way of knowing the Cp. We can't proceed with the calculations. So, we can only assume that in the duration of 15 minutes, the whole system achieves equilibrium. Therefore, the equilibrium temperature of the system is equal to 32°C. The answer is C.
Answer:270joules
Explanation:KE = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2(60kg)(3.0)^2 = 270 Joules
