A gnat takes off from one end of a pencil and flies around erratically for 21.6 s before landing on the other end of the same pencil. If the gnat flew a total distance of 8.65 m, and the pencil is 0.0863 m long, find the gnat's average speed and the magnitude of the gnat's average velocity.

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.

Ineed this now one scientist feels that the changes in global climatic patterns may be good for the health of the biosphere. another scientist feels that sharp changes in climatic patterns could result in the extinction of the biosphere. which of these is the most likely reason the two scientists gave conflicting opinions on the impact of changes in the global climatic pattern? they do not have enough knowledge on the topic. they did not discuss the issue among themselves. they believe conflicting opinion strengthens science. they study different areas of science and have different scientific focuses.
