<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.
Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.
The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

where,
Y = Young's Modulus
F = force exerted by the weight
l = length of wire
A = area of cross section
= change in length
Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
Answer:
These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. "If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance
Answer:
The spring force constant is
.
Explanation:
We are told the mass of the ball is
, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is
, the length the ball compresses the spring is
and the acceleration of gravity is
.
We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy
is equal to the final mechanical energy
:

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

If we manipulate the equation we have that:
