When you are on a swing, and at the lowest point of your motion, is your apparent weight greater than, less than, or equal to your true weight?
-in circular motion there must be a centripetal force directed the center.
-at the bottom of the swing trajectory we can pretend you are in uniform circular motion, so the net force points toward the center of the circle.
-therefore, the swing must exert a force on you than the earth does in the downward direction.
-so, your apparent weight is your true weight.

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
