Explain why a diverging lens is used to correct nearsightedness (difficulty seeing objects far away).

Ocean currents are formed by what type of heat transfer?

An engineer is designing a new on-ramp for a highway. Because of space limitations, the on-ramp can have a radius no larger than 60 meters. The on-ramp is not banked and we assume that the vehicle will travel at a constant speed.

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantly in zero seconds

What is the final temperature when a 3.0 kg gold bar at 99 0C is dropped into 0.22 kg of water at 25oC?

Suppose for an unexplained reason a star near Earth started shrinking. At what stage is the gravitational force between Earth and the star the greatest?

What material are oil pipelines made from?

3/129 A 175-lb pole vaulter carrying a uniform 16-ft, 10-lb pole approaches the jump with a velocity v and manages to barely clear the bar set at a height of 18 ft. As he clears the bar, his velocity and that of the pole are essentially zero.

A few years ago, Serena Williams dived to hit a tennis ball right after it bounced off the ground. The ball bounced on the ground 10.3 m from the net, and after Serena hit the ball it flew over the 0.

A force of 1.25x103N is required to lift an object that is under the influence of an acceleration due to gravity of 7.86ft/sec2. What is the object's mass in kilograms?

Which of these events is an example of the Doppler shift? The amplitude of a wave on a string increases as the frequency decreases. The amplitude of sound from a tuning fork decreases due to damping.
