- In a Coyote/Road Runner cartoon clip (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21coyroadcarcl), a spring expands quickly and sends the coyote into a rock.

Let the work done by the air resistance when the skier goes from A to B along the given hilly path be —2000 J.

Assuming air resistance is ignored, describe the energy transformations that occur within die system consisting of the block, the Earth, and the spring when the block is set into vertical motion.arrow_forward
