Consider the mass-on-a-spring system as shown in the figure below. The spring has a spring constant of 1.81e+3 N/m, and the block has a mass of 0.988 kg. There is a constant force of kinetic friction between the mass and the floor of 1.79 N. Starting with the spring compressed by 0.172 m from its equilibrium position, how far will the block travel once it leaves the spring? (Assume that block leaves the spring at at the spring's equilibrium position, marked x=0 in the figure.

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

7. see worksheet 1 for values of variables x1, x2 and x3 and answer the following questions: a. for each variable find the mean, median, coefficient of skewness, range and population standard deviation. b. compared to variable x1, how are the mean and median affected by extreme values (outliers) seen in x2 and x3. c. is the median or mean the better measure of location for x2 and x3? explain. d. explain the differences in the magnitudes of the skewness coefficients for the three variables. e. what is the relationship between the range and standard deviation looking across the three variables?

When solid surfaces slide over each other the kind of friction that occurs is called friction
