A block of mass 0.249 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 4 875 N/m and pushed downward so that the spring is compressed by 0.103 m. After the block is released from rest, it travels upward and then leaves the spring. To what maximum height above the point of release does it rise

Can someone explain to me how to do this problem ?

Look at the potential energy diagram for a chemical reaction. which statement correctly describes the energy changes that occur in the forward reaction?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
