Lidia plans an experimental investigation to see how the thickness of a lens affects the point where a beam of light is focused. she plans to shine light through a lens and measure the distance to a screen that is placed where the beam focuses. what are the controls in lidia’s investigation?

Click the game tab at the bottom of the simulation and select level 1. (there is no seesaw balance for this part of the activity.) balance the first equation, and click check to see if you got it right. if you can’t balance it in the first try, you can try again. work through the five equations for level 1. click continue to go on to level 2, and later level 3. each level is more difficult than the one before. keep trying until all the equations are balanced. in one or two sentences, describe how you did in the balancing game. in a few more sentences, explain one strategy you learned for balancing more complex equations.

What is the kinetic energy of a baseball moving at a speed of 40 m/s if the baseball has mass of 0.15 kg?

A15,000 kg rocket traveling at +230 m/s turns on its engines. over a 6.0 s period it burns 1,000 kg of fuel. an observer on the ground measures the velocity of the expelled gases to be −1,200 m/s.
