It has been a hot summer, so when you arrive at a lake, you decide to go for a swim even though it it nighttime. The water is cold. The next day, you go swimming again during the hottest part of the day, and even though the air is warmer the water is still almost as cold. Why? (a) Water is fairly dense compared with many other liquids.
(b) Water remains in a liquid state for a wide range of temperatures.
(c) Water has a high bulk modulus.
(d) Water has a high specific heat.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
