I think its B because classical physics describes light as waves

Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

found the potential spring energy. not sure how to find the height of the block by knowing only the mass. found the weight of it
evablogger [386]

(h + .16) m g = 1/2 k x^2   total PE of block relative to where it stops

(h + .16) .82 * 9.8 = .5 * 120 * .16^2    PE released = PE of  spring

8.04 h + 1.29 = 1.536

h = (1.536 - 1.29) / 8.04 = .031 m = 3.1 cm

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer: 0 km/h

Explanation:
As a vector, the plane's velocity is 100 km/h (west) - 100 km/h (east)  = 0 km/m.
To an observer on the ground, the plane will be standing still.
