Students used the pulley seen here to lift the weight. "How much force did we use?" one student asked. "100 Newtons" answered another. The students could check this by measuring the weight using a

The extremely high temperatures needed to trigger nuclear fusion are proposed to be generated by laser irradiating a spherical pellet of deuterium and tritium fuel of diameter 1.8 mm. (a) determine the maximum fuel temperature that can be achieved by irradiating the pellet with 200 lasers, each producing a power of 550 w. the pellet has an absorptivity 0.3 and emissivity 0.8.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Avolcano erupts next to a grassland area in a valley. a. describe three ways in which material released by the volcano could impact the grassland area. b. describe three ways in which the grassland ecosystem could recover after a volcanic eruption.
