It's true IF ' m ' stands for mass and ' v ' stands for acceleration. Otherwise it's false.
Answer:
x = 0.396 m
Explanation:
The best way to solve this problem is to divide it into two parts: one for the clash of the putty with the block and another when the system (putty + block) compresses it is spring
Data the putty has a mass m1 and velocity vo1, the block has a mass m2
. t's start using the moment to find the system speed.
Let's form a system consisting of putty and block; For this system the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved. Let's write the moment before the crash
p₀ = m1 v₀₁
Moment after shock
= (m1 + m2) 
p₀ =
m1 v₀₁ = (m1 + m2) 
= v₀₁ m1 / (m1 + m2)
= 4.4 600 / (600 + 500)
= 2.4 m / s
With this speed the putty + block system compresses the spring, let's use energy conservation for this second part, write the mechanical energy before and after compressing the spring
Before compressing the spring
Em₀ = K = ½ (m1 + m2)
²
After compressing the spring
= Ke = ½ k x²
As there is no rubbing the energy is conserved
Em₀ = 
½ (m1 + m2)
² = = ½ k x²
x =
√ (k / (m1 + m2))
x = 2.4 √ (11/3000)
x = 0.396 m
1 cubic cm is the same as 1 mL, so the answer would be C.
Mass of gold m₁ = 47 g
Initial temperature of gold T₁ = 99 C
Specific heat of gold C₁ = 0.129 J/gC
final temperature T₂ = 38 C
Heat needed by the gold to cool down
Q =m₁ * C₁* ( T₁ - T₂)
Q = (47)(0.129)(99-38)
Q = 369.843 J
This heat will be given by the water
we need to find out mass of water m₂
and initial temperature of water is T₃ = 25 C
Specific heat of water C₂ = 4.184 J/gC
Q = m₂*C₂*(T₂ - T₃)
369.843 = m₂(4.184)(38-25)
m₂ = 6.8 g
