The temperature on land around the equator stays about the same throughout the year. this is because this area
a) has a greater tilt than other parts of the earth.
b) receives less direct sunlight throughout the year.
c) receives similar amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
d) receives more direct sunlight than other parts of the earth.

If two students are running down the hall toward each other, trying to get to class, and they have the same mass and acceleration, what will happen when they collide? will their forces cancel out or will each one experience a reaction?

Ablock having mass m slides down an inclined plane. the force of friction between the block and the inclined plane is f, the block's weight is m g, and the normal force is n. (a) draw a free – body force diagram showing the forces acting on the block. (b) write down all relevant newton’s equations for a given situation.

Ablock of mass m slides on a horizontal frictionless table with an initial speed v0 . it then compresses a spring of force constant k and is brought to rest. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. how much is the spring compressed x from its natural length? 1) x = v0*sqrt(k/(mg)) 2) x=v0*sqrt(m/k) 3) x=v0*((mk)/g) 4) x=v0*sqrt(k/m) 5) x=v0*(m/kg) 6) x=v0*sqrt((mg)/k) 7) x=(v0)^2/(2g) 8) x=v0*(k/(mg)) 9) x=(v0)^2/(2m) 10) x=v0*((mg)/k)
