An object starts from rest at point f and speeds up continuously as it moves around an oval. a. choose a point about 1/8 th of the way around the oval from point f, and label it point g. draw a vector to represent the velocity of the object at point g. b. determine the change in velocity vector   between points f and g.

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
