Name three situations where rolling friction would be more advantageous than sliding friction

How do the three opsin molecules respond to different wavelengths of light when their retinal molecular structures are identical?

A thin film of oil (n = 1.27) is located on smooth, wet pavement. when viewed perpendicular to the pavement, the film reflects most strongly red light at 640 nm and reflects no blue light at 427 nm. how thick is the oil film?

A 100 kilogram clown is fired 15 meters per second from a 500-kilogram cannon. What is the recoil speed of the cannon?

Determine the mass of the earth from the known period and distance of the moon.

Three blocks are arranged in a stack on a frictionless horizontal surface. The bottom block has a mass of 37.0 kg. A block of mass 18.0 kg sits on top of it and a 16.0 kg block sits on top of the middle block.

Venus's average distance from the sun is 0.72 AU and Saturn's is 9.54 AU. Calculate the orbital velocity of Venus and Saturn around the sun. (The mass of the sun is 1.99 X 10^30 KG. an AU is 1.50 X 10^11 M.

Caleb's parent drove him to a swim meet 208 km away. It took them 2 hours, which included a 15-minute break to refuel. What was their average driving speed?

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energy transfer? Electromagnetic waves can carry energy through matter. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Why do different elements emit different colors of light

In an experiment, 108 J of work was done on a closed system. During this phase of the experiment, 79 J of heat energy was added to the system. What was the total change in the internal energy of the system?
