<h2>Answer: at an angle
below the inclined plane.
</h2>
If we draw the <u>Free Body Diagram</u> for this situation (figure attached), taking into account only the gravity force in this case, we will see the weight 
of the block, which is directly proportional to the gravity acceleration 
:
This force is directed vertically at an angle below the inclined plane, this means it has an X-component and a Y-component:
Therefore the correct option is c
Answer:
The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
Explanation:
In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:
notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.
The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.
For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:
This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:
The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.
The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length
Let's convert the data into the SI units:
so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
