Explain why light bends as it enters a glass block

The period T of a simple pendulum depends on the length L of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity g (dimensions L/T^2). (a) Find a simple combination of L and g that has the dimensions of time.

A nasa spacecraft measures the rate r of at which atmospheric pressure on mars decreases with altitude. the result at a certain altitude is: = r0.0421·kpakm-1 convert r to ·jcm-4.

Calculating Final Velocity A roller coaster is traveling at 13 m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400 m long. Heading down the hill, it accelerates at 4.0 m/s2.

When you push a box across the floor, the box experiences what kind of friction? I think it's kinetic friction. A: Cohesisve friction B: Potential friction C: static friction D: Kinetic friction E: Rolling friction.

A positive charge of 0.026 C moves horizontally to the right at a speed of 443.592 m/s and enters a magnetic field directed vertically downward. If it experiences a force of 22.182 N, what is the magnetic field strength?

Consider the following controls in an automobile in motion : gas pedal, brake, steering wheel. what are the controls in this list that cause an acceleration of the car?

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?
