How should I be doing these?

Talia is manufacturing rolls of wire for hanging pictures. she needs a material that is so that it can easily be pulled into wire without breaking.

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)

Atemperature inversion can cause a warm air mass to move over a colder air mass. this traps the colder air mass and prevents surface air from rising. this may result in which of these? a) smog b) acid rain c) freezing rain d) a thunderstorm
