An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length 1.5 m. The system with a total mass of 40,000 kg is moving with a speed of 72 kmh^(1) when the brakes tare applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest, the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by 1.0 m. If 90% of energy of the wagon is lost due to friction, the spring constant is ________ xx 10^5 N/m.

A 60 kg boy running at 5.0 m//s while playing basketball falls down on the floor and skids along on his leg until he stopes. How many calories of heat are generated between his leg and the floor? Assume that all this heat energy is confined to a volume of 2.0cm^3 of his flesh. What will be temperature change of the flesh? Assume c=1.0(cal)/(g^@C) and rho=950(kg)/(m^3) for flesh.
