When the James Webb Space Telescope is finally launched, what will be its distinguishing characteristic (what about it will really help astronomers)? a. it will observe gamma-rays from the most energetic events in the universe b. it will be the same size and design as the Hubble Space Telescope, which is wearing out c. it will have the largest mirror ever put into space for observing faint objects d. it will allow us to take pictures with the same resolution as a radio dish e. it will be in low Earth orbit, and thus easy for astronauts to repair

11. you want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before hitting the water?

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

I'm thinking it's 2 you are asked to explain the earth's magnetic field. which is the best reply? 1. the earth's magnetic south is similar to the north pole of a magnet. 2. the earth's core has a strong magnetic charge similar to the south pole of a magnet. 3. the earth's geomagnetic south is similar to the south pole of a magnet. 4. the earth's magnetic charge is not centered at either pole; it varies based on location.
