The image shows Earth’s orbit around the Sun. An illustration with a circle representing the sun and a smaller circle representing a planet. The sun is at a focus of a draw ellipse that the planet is on. There are lines drawn radially out from the Sun to the elliptical path of the planet. The planet is at the part of the ellipse that is closest to the sun. The position of the planet is labeled W and the position opposite the planet is labeled X.
Which describes the changes in Earth’s motion?

The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction opposite to the velocity.
The speed increases from W to X because a component of the gravitational force acts in the direction of the velocity.

Several processes form metal ore. match each process to its description. volcanic activity weathering hydrothermal energy rocks break down as they interact with air and water. arrowright density differences and other factors cause metals to concentrate in igneous rocks. arrowright seawater heats up from contact with hot rock, and metals dissolve in it. the water rises and contacts cooler water, causing metal ores to settle on the ocean floor. arrowright

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.
