True or false: when direction for velocity is not included, then the velocity becomes simply speed.

How would doubling the made of an object change the objects potential energy

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.

Two polarizers are oriented at 24.0∘ to one another. light polarized at a 12.0-degree angle to each polarizer passes through both. what is the transmitted intensity (%)?
