Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. Because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mass m, draw the forces with their tails centered on the black dot in the middle of the chair. Be certain to draw your forces so that they have the correct orientation. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.

Which statement is the best definition of an atom? a) anything that has mass and occupies space. b) the smallest particle that has the properties of an element. c) a substance that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances. eliminate d) the smallest unit of a substance that exhibits all of the properties characteristic of that substance.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.

Determine the time it takes for a satellite to orbit the earth in a circular "near-earth" orbit. the definition of "near-earth" orbit is one which is at a height above the surface of the earth which is small compared to the radius of the earth, so that you may take the acceleration due to gravity as essentially the same as that on the surface. does your result depend on the mass of the satellite?
