Northeastern Pennsylvania is known for its large supply of coal. Based on this fact, what can you infer about how Northeastern Pennsylvania's land might have looked like millions of years ago?
A
The land was likely once near a volcano that deposited the coal on the land after thousands of years of eruptions.

B
The land was likely heavily forested with many smaller plants like ferns.

C
The land was likely once under water.

D
The land was likely a desert.

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

The bar of prob. 5/82 is repeated here. the ends of the 0.4-m bar remain in contact with their re- spective support surfaces. end b has a velocity of 0.5 m/s and an acceleration of 0.3 m/s2 in the di- rections shown. determine the angular accelera- tion of the bar and the acceleration of end a.
