Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 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. 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.

1134567 a jet with mass m = 1.1 ă— 105 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 2 m/s2. 1) what is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff? 2.2*10^5 n your submissions: 2.2*10^5 computed value: 220000submitted: saturday, january 26 at 2: 41 pm feedback: correct! 2) what is the net vertical force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff? 0 n your submissions: 0 computed value: 0submitted: saturday, january 26 at 2: 41 pm feedback: correct! 3) once off the ground, the plane climbs upward for 20 seconds. during this time, the vertical speed increases from zero to 21 m/s, while the horizontal speed increases from 80 m/s to 95 m/s. what is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it climbs upward? n 4) what is the net vertical force on the airplane as it climbs upward? n 5) after reaching cruising altitude, the plane levels off, keeping the horizontal speed constant, but smoothly reducing the vertical speed to zero, in 13 seconds. what is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it levels off? n 6) what is the net vertical force on the airplane as it levels off?

Imagine you are standing in the antarctic during the southern hemisphere summer. the sky is clear and blue. there are no clouds in the sky. your shadow is cast on the icy ground. what is the color of the shadow?
