Perturbation theory: a. why is perturbation theory required? b. describe the basic assumptions and process for performing non-degenerate perturbation theory

Atruck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. first, he travels 8 km east, and then he turns around and travels 3 km west. finally, he turns again and travels 13 km to his destination. what is the drivers distance

Newton's second law states that f = m x a (force is mass times acceleration). which example would have the greatest acceleration?

Multiple choice. choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1) if the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be 1) a) negative. b) positive. c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves. 2) a truck has four times the mass of a car and is moving with twice the speed of the car. if kt and kc refer to the kinetic energies of truck and car respectively, it is correct to say that 2) a) kt = 16kc . b) kt = 1 2 kc. c) kt = kc . d) kt = 2kc . e) kt = 4kc . 3) you and your friend, who weighs the same as you, want to go to the top of the eiffel tower. your friend takes the elevator straight up. you decide to walk up the spiral stairway, taking longer to do so. compare the gravitational
