Heat because in a machine heat must come out to follow the law of conservation of energy
<span>The law of conservation of matter and energy relates to the cycles in nature, and by that it is also applied to rocks and other materials. All of the rock in the Earth is recycled and accounted for during the rock cycle. Rocks experience physical change, the composition of the material stays the same, it may just change how it looks and chemical changes occur (the suubstance undergoes a chemical reaction that changes the actual makeup of the substance).</span>
Explanation:
It is given that,
Spring constant of the spring, k = 15 N/m
Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m
Number of oscillations, N = 31
Time, t = 15 s
(a) Let m is the mass of the ball. The frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

Total number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of oscillation. Here, 


m = 0.0895 kg
or
m = 89 g
(b) The maximum speed of the ball that is given by :





Hence, this is the required solution.
