Bob has been springfield's top meteorologist for ten years. he received data from satellite imaging and computer models that a huge storm system is headed springfield's way. in his weather forecast, however, he just tells viewers to expect heavy winds and light precipitation. what do you think about bob's forecast?

a).bob will be wrong because he's ignoring reliable computer and satellite data.
b).bob is using his personal knowledge of the local area to make his forecast.
c).bob is hoping that the wind direction will change.

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.
