Explanation:
This problem requires the knowledge of simple harmonic motion for cimplete solution. To find the spring constant in part A the expression relating the force applied to a spring and the resulting stretching of the spring (hooke's law) is required which is F = kx.
The free body diagram can be found in the attachment. Fp(force of pull), Ft(Force of tension) and W(weight).
The energy stored in the pring as a result of the stretching of d = 5.7cm is 1/2kd².
Part D
Three forces act on the spring-monkey system and they do work in different forms: kinetic energy 1/2mv² , elastic potential
energy due to the restoring force in the spring or the tension force 1/2kd², and the gravitational potential energy mgh of the position of the system. So the total energy of the system E = 1/2kd² + 1/2mv² + mgh.
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference 
is
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
is the specific heat capacity of water
is the decrease of temperature of the water
Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity of the vehicle,
distance between the car and the tree,
time taken to respond to the situation,
acceleration of the car after braking,
Using equation of motion:
..............(1)
where:
final velocity of the car when it hits the tree
initial velocity of the car when the tree falls
acceleration after the brakes are applied
distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.
Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:
(negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)
