An island is 1 mi due north of its closest point along a straight shoreline. a visitor is staying at a cabin on the shore that is 15 mi west of that point. the visitor is planning to go from the cabin to the island. suppose the visitor runs at a rate of 6 mph and swims at a rate of 2.5 mph. how far should the visitor run before swimming to minimize the time it takes to reach the island? round your answer to three decimal places and omit units from the answer box.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
