Based on the information given regarding the angle of elevation and depression, the true statements are A, C, and D.
<h3>How to solve the angle of elevation and depression.</h3>From the complete information, the first angle has legs 529m and 229m.
The second one has legs 529m and 347m. Therefore tan x will be = 529/229 = 2.31
Tan y will be = 529/347 = 1.52
It can be noted that tan x > tan y. There are two parallel lines given and angle x, v, y, and w are alternate angles.
Therefore, the correct options are A, C , and D.

The instantaneous velocity of the 15 kg. mass just after collision can be found by the principle of linear momentum.
a) The speed of the 15 kg. just after collision is <u>2 m/s</u>.
b) The type of collision is <u>inelastic collision</u>
c) The compression of the spring is approximately <u>0.323 m</u>.
Reasons:
The given parameters are;
Mass of the block attached to the spring, m₁ = 15.0 kg
Force constant of the spring, K = 575 N/m
Mass of the stone that strikes the block, m₂ = 3.00 kg
Speed of the stone, v₂ = 8.00 m/s
Speed with which the stone rebounds, v₃ = 2.00 m/s
a) The total initial momentum = 3 kg. × 8 m/s = 24 kg·m/s
The final momentum, just after collision = 3 × (-2) kg·m/s + 15 kg ×v₁
By conservation of momentum, we have;
24 kg·m/s = 3 × (-2) kg·m/s + 15 kg ×v₁
The speed of the 15 kg. just after collision, v₁ = <u>2 m/s</u>.
b) A collision is elastic when the kinetic energy of the collision is conserved
The initial kinetic energy, K.E.₁ = 0.5 × 3 kg. ×(8 m/s)² = 96 J
The sum of the final kinetic energy are;
0.5 × 3 kg. × (2 m/s)² + 0.5 × 15 kg × (2 m/s)² = 36 J
The initial kinetic energy ≠ The final kinetic energy
Therefore, <u>the collision is not elastic</u>
(c) The kinetic energy given by the block = The elastic potential energy gained by the spring
Kinetic energy of the block, K.E. = 0.5 × 15 kg × (2 m/s)² = 30 J
Elastic energy gained by the block = 0.5 × K × x² = 0.5 × 575 N/m × x²
Therefore;
0.5 × 575 N/m × x² = 30 J
