An empty paper cup is the same temperature as the air in the room. A student fills the cup with cold water. Which of the following describes how thermal energy is transferred?
O Thermal energy is transferred from the cold water to the cup until they are at the same temperature.
O Thermal energy is transferred from the cup to the cold water until they are at the same temperature.
Thermal energy is transferred from the cup to the cold water until the cup has no more thermal energy
Thermal energy is not transferred between the cup and the cold water.

Taylor's experiment: 1. accurately measured the speed of light 2. locked together the phases of two light sources so that the interference pattern would not shift 3. showed that man's reaction time was much slower than the speed of light 4. showed that individual photons have wave characteristics

22. the top of a cliff is located a distance h above the ground. at a distance h/2 there is a branch that juts out from the side of the cliff, and on this branch a bird's nest is located. two children throw stones at the nest with the same initial speed, one stone straight downward from the top of the cliff and the other stone straight upward from the ground. in the absence of air resistance, which stone hits the nest in the least amount of time?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
