Two illustrations labeled A and B. In Illustration A a hand is pushing on a mass labeled m that is connected to a spring and the spring is connected to a wall. In illustration B the spring is back to its normal length and the mass is moving away from the end of the spring at a velocity v. The position where the block started from is labeled x = 0. A spring attached to a mass is at rest in the initial position (not shown). The spring is compressed in position A and is then released, as shown in position B. Which equation describes conservation of energy in position A?

we need answer choices

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
