The incidence of diverticulosis increases with:

A factory produces light bulbs, and each bulb has a 5% probability of being defective. If a quality inspector randomly selects 10 bulbs, which of the following expressions correctly calculates the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective?

What are you doing for spring break?

A 0.60 kg plate falls straight down from a table and breaks into 3 pieces.  A 0.20 kg piece travels North at 5.0 m/s.  A 0.15 kg piece travels at 6.0 m/s in a direction of 30.00 North of East.  What is the speed of the third piece?

spring question.png A 2.50 kg mass is sliding along a rough  level, surface of coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.350 between the mass and the surface, when it encounters a spring of spring of spring constant 125 N/m.  If the mass is traveling at 1.20 m/s when it contacts the spring determine by how much the spring compresses in stopping the mass.

up incline.png A block is shot up an the above incline with an initial speed of 12.0 m/s.  It slides up the ramp and then back down.  If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.40 will be the speed of the block when it slides back down to the bottom of the ramp?

A mass m1 = 15.0 kg traveling East at 12.0 m/s undergoes an elastic, head on, collision with a mass m2 traveling West at 14.0 m/s.  After the collision m1 is traveling West at 10.0 m/s.  What was the mass of m2?
