B. Potential energy decreases, then increases to the original level.
C. Potential energy remains the same throughout the ball's trajectory.
D. The answer cannot be determined from the information provided.

The dissociation energy of a molecule is the energy required tobreak apart the molecule into its separate atoms. the dissociationenergy for a particular molecule is 5.48 x 10-18 j.suppose that this energy is provided by a single photon. determinethe (a) wavelength and (b) frequency of the photon

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.
