The California mussel (Mytilus californianus) attaches itself to a rock or other solid surface with a bundle of filaments known as the byssus. Imagine that 15.0 J of work is done to stretch the distal end of the byssus. It releases 10.8 J of thermal energy as it relaxes. What is the resilience of the distal end of the byssus

0.28

Explanation:

Thermal energy is 10.8 J

Work done is 15 J

Let r be the resilience of the distal end of the byssus

We have the relation

So, the resilience of the distal end of the byssus is 0.28

no

sodium is solid at rt

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
