A small block is at the top of a frictionless track. The track slopes down, runs horizontally and then ends in a spring attached to a stop. The block is released, slides down the track and compresses the spring. How much is the spring compressed before it springs back and reverses the direction of the block? (Block mass = .035 kg, track height = 0.78 m, k= 380 N/m).

Which type of wave can travel without a medium

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
