Ecotourists use their global positioning system indicator to determine their location inside a botanical garden as latitude 0.002 43 degree south of the equator, longitude 75.642 38 degrees west.

they wish to visit a tree at latitude 0.001 62 degree north, longitude 75.644 26 degrees west.

(a) determine the straight-line distance and the direction in which they can walk to reach the tree as follows. first model the earth as a sphere of radius 6.37 mm to determine the westward and northward displacement components required, in meters. then model the earth as a flat surface to complete the calculation.

(b) explain why it is possible to use these two geometrical models together to solve the problem

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. 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. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? 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.
