A car engine is suspended from a chain linked at O to two other chains. Which of the following forces should be included in the free-body diagram for the engine? A. tension T1 B. tension T2 C. tension T3 D. two of the choices

A piece of fruit falls straight down. As it falls, the: A. gravitational force does positive work on it and the   gravitational potential energy increases. B. gravitational force does positive work on it and the   gravitational potential energy decreases. C. gravitational force does negative work on it and the   gravitational potential energy increases. D. gravitational force does negative work on it and the   gravitational potential energy decreases.

You are testing a new car using crash test dummies. Consider two ways to slow the car from 90 km/h (56 mi/h) to a complete stop: (i)  You let the car slam into a wall, bringing it to a sudden stop. (ii)  You let the car plow into a giant tub of gelatin so that it comes   to a gradual halt. In which case is there a greater impulse of the net force on the car? A. In case (i). B. In case (ii). C. The impulse is the same in both cases. D. The answer depends on how rigid the front of the car is.

Rank the following objects in order of their kinetic energy, from largest to smallest: A.  A 2.00-kg object moving at 1.00 m/s B.  A 1.00-kg object moving at 2.00 m/s C.  A 4.00-kg object that was initially at rest, then had 8.00 J of   total work done on it D.  A 4.00-kg object that was initially moving at 2.00 m/s, then   had –8.00 J of total work done on it

Ordered: Cephalexin 2 g in 100 ml D5W IVPB over 20 minutes. The I.V. tubing is 15 gtt/ml. Calculate the flow rate. Record your answer using a whole number.

A ball (mass 0.40 kg) is initially moving to the left at 30 m/s. After hitting the wall, the ball is moving to the right at 20 m/s. What is the impulse of the net force on the ball during its collision with the wall? A. 20 kg • m/s to the right B. 20 kg • m/s to the left C. 4.0 kg • m/s to the right D. 4.0 kg • m/s to the left

The nurse is assisting a weak client to ambulate down the hall for the first time. Which of the following nursing actions is correct?
