The horizontal surface on which the 2.0 - kg block slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spring is 9.0 m/s. How fast is the block moving at the instant the spring has been compressed 174.5 mm

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
