Curling is a sport played with 20 kg stones that slide across an ice surface. Suppose a curling stone sliding at 1 m/s strikes another stone and comes to rest in 0.002 s. Approximately how
much force is there on the stone during the impact?

Which statement best describes resistance? resistance is a. how well a current will flow in a material and is measured in volts. b. how well a material conducts an electrical charge and is measured in ohms. c. the ability of a material to attract a positive charge to create a current. d. the ability of a material to repel neutral charges and is measured in ohms.

What is the order of the moon, earth, and sun in a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.
