If you visited mount shasta city (elevation 900 m [3000 ft.]) and found the outside air temperature to be 27°c (81°f), what would be the air temperature at the summit of mount shasta (elevation 4200 m [14,000 ft.]) at that moment-assuming that the temperature conditions with altitude change at an average, or normal, lapse rate?

Aspring has a relaxed length of 33 cm (0.33 m) and its spring stiffness is 6 n/m. you glue a 76 gram block (0.076 kg) to the top of the spring, and push the block down, compressing the spring so its total length is 15 cm. you make sure the block is at rest, then at time t=0 you quickly move your hand away. the block begins to move upward, because the upward force on the block by the spring is greater than the downward force on the block by the earth. calculate y vs. time for the block during a 0.09-second interval after you release the block, by applying the momentum principle in three steps each of 0.03-second duration.
