you place a 500 g block of an unknown subtance in an insulated container filled 2 kg of water. the block has an initial temperature of 50 degrees c. the water is initially at 20 degrees c. if the equilibrium temperature of the block and water is 25 degrees c, what is the specific heat of the block? the specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg k.

Acar traveling at 22 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. it comes to a complete stop in 15 seconds. what is it’s acceleration?

In one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
