everything can be found in the picture
Answer:
a.6.5025 J
b.6.5025 J
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=
1 kg=1000 g
Spring constant,k=1800 N/m
x=8.5 cm=
1m=100 cm
a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring is given by
P.E=


b.By using law of conservation of energy
P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet
K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J
1) 29.8 C
At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).
2) 6.2 C
The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

where

Substituting into the formula,

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.
3) -40.6 C
The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

where

Substituting into the formula,

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.
Sound Waves will be an example of mechanical waves.. hope this helps!
