I’m trying to get things expanded graph explanation sorry
Answer:
0.79 s
Explanation:
We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that 
Now, we find the acceleration:

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:
(1)
F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.
The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:
1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm
The force applied is due to the weight

We replace in (1):
We solve the equation for m:
When an object's atoms move faster, its thermal energy increases and the object becomes warmer.
