1) A mass of 90g is placed on top of a vertical spring with a spring constant of 310N/m. The spring is then compressed further, by an outside force, by 11.4cm. The spring is released and the object is then
propelled upward. Use conservation of energy to solve.
a) What is the maximum velocity of the mass after it separates from the spring?

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

the answer is c. the lower legs are levers, and the knees are fulcrums. the ankles hold the loads.
