Give several reasons the orion molecular cloud is such a useful “laboratory” for studying the stages of star formation.

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.

Which example has gravitational potential energy? a.a horse slowing down from a run b.an apple about to fall from a tree branch c.a bicycle being pedaled down a horizontal path d.beaker sitting on the floor

What are two different ways you could find the value of a? explain these methods.
