Asmall sphere hangs from a string attached to the ceiling of a uniformly accelerating train car. it is observed that the string makes an angle of 37° with respect to the vertical. the magnitude of the acceleration a of the train car is most nearly

Two resistors r1 and r2 may be connected either in series or parallel across an ideal battery with emf ε. we desire the rate of energy dissipation of the parallel combination to be 8.75 times that of the series combination. if r1 = 105 ω, what are the (a) smaller and (b) larger of the two values of r2 that result in that dissipation rate?

If a car has a speed of 20 m/s, how long will it take to go 155 m? a. 3100 s b. 135 s c. 2.1 s d. 7.8 s

The law of entropy can also be called the law of increasing disorder, but this law seems to contradict the existence of living organisms that are able to organize chemicals into organic molecules. prepare for a class debate on the validity of the following arguments: a. living things are not subject to the laws of thermodynamics. b. the increase in the universe's entropy due to life processes is greater than the decrease in entropy within a living organism.
