How do scientists know the true environmental lapse rate in a column of air?

Aspring with a mass of 2 kg has a damping constant 14 kg/s. a force of 3.6 n is required to keep the spring stretched 0.3 m beyond its natural length. the spring is stretched 0.6 m beyond its natural length and then released. find the position of the mass at any time t. (assume that movement to the right is the positive x-direction and the spring is attached to a wall at the left end.)

Aphysical change is a change in the size, shape,, or stafe of matter true or false

Where is the potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing of the trebuchet?
