A rocket is sitting on the launch pad. The engines ignite, and the rocket begins to rise straight upward, picking up speed as it goes. At about 1000 m above the ground the engines shut down, but the rocket continues straight upward, losing speed as it goes. It reaches the top of its flight path and then falls back to earth. Ignoring air resistance, decide which one of the following statements is true.
a. Only part of the rocket's motion, from just after the engines shut down until just before it lands, is free-fall.
b. Only the rocket's motion, while the engines are firing, is free-fall.
c. Only part of the rocket's motion, from just after the engines shut down until it reaches the top of its flight path, is free-fall.
d. All of the rocket's motion, from the moment the engines ignite until just before the rocket lands, is free-fall.
e. Only the rocket's motion from the top of its flight path until just before landing is free-fall.

You and a friend (alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. you both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. however, the tension in the rope is greater when alex climbs. who did the most work? alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done you did - less tension means less force - less force means more work was done to find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? when more work was done, the couch was moved less. when more work was done, the couch was moved further. when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all. when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance.

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?
