Answer:
a. The speed is 2.39 m/s
b. The acceleration of the block is 10.2
Explanation:
First, we have to do the energy balance where we consider two states, the first where the spring remains still and the second when it is stretched 0.400m:
Δx=
W_{ext}=20.4 Nm

To determine, the acceleration we solve the following equation for a:

The impulse exerted by a force F on an object in a time

is given by

In our problem, we have a force of 120 N: F=120 N, applied to the baseball for a time of

. Therefore the impulse is
Just assume that the sun has the average mass of all the stars
Then divide the mass of the galaxy by the mass of the sun.
<span>10^30 has 30 zeroes after it. 10^42 has 42 zeroes.
The answer would have 12 zeroes which concludes a trillion stars. </span>
