Afriend claims that her car can accelerate from a stop to 60 mi/h (26.8 m/s) in 5.1 s , but the speedometer is broken. you decide to test her claim by riding with her, and you bring along a small metal washer, a short length of string, a protractor, and a pen that can write on glass. sitting in the passenger seat, you tie the washer to one end of the string and then let the string-washer combination hang straight down by rolling up the passenger-door window to pinch the free end of the string. while the car is stationary, you draw a line on the window alongside the vertical string.

how large is the angle the string makes with the line you drew if the car accelerates at the rate your friend claims?

if an identical washer does not slide on the horizontal dashboard while this is happening, what is the ratio of the frictional force to the gravitational force exerted on this washer?

How do the measurements of charge at the different locations on the sphere compare to each other? the charge measurements are different at all locations on the sphere. the charge measurements are virtually not the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top and at the very bottom that are equal. the charge measurements are virtually the same at all locations on the sphere except for the charge at the very top. at the top, the conductive sphere has a small disk that is made of different material. the charge measurements are the same at all locations on the sphere. what happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage source? nothing will happen because no charge goes around the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out over the surface of the sphere; being greater in some specific locations on the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out uniformly over the surface of the sphere. the charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

In a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina. what should be the radius of curvature of the cornea such that the image of an object 40.0 cm from the cornea’s vertex is focused on the retina?

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?
