Option B i.e discretion is the right and correct answer.

[C]utting programs that were not effective or essential and even some that were, but are now unaffordable; and precisely targeting our investments. Every department will feel the impact of these reductions as they cut programs or tighten their belts to free up more resources for areas critical to economic growth. —President Barack Obama, 2012 Budget Message of the President.

The President above clearly refers to the Discretion Spending where portion of the budget is decided by Congress through the annual appropriations.

A team of bicyclists are on bikes that require 512 J of work to ride. It takes 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears. Wha
Alja [10]

Answer:

84.4 %

Explanation:

Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %

output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears

input work = 512 J of work to ride.

Mechanical efficiency =  432 J/512 J × 100 %

= 0.844 × 100%

= 84.4 %

How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

A 46.5-kg ball has a momentum of 57.2 kg m/s. What is the ball's speed?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1.23 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

57.2 = 46.5v

v= 57.2/46.5

v= 1.23

If you want to verify your answer, just insert the value of v in the equation.

A 50.0-g object connected to a spring with a force constant of 35.0 n/m oscillates with an amplitude of 4.00 cm on a frictionles
Dimas [21]
A) The total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 +  \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring

The total energy is conserved, so we can calculate its value at any point of the motion. If we take the point of maximum displacement:
x=A=4.00 cm = 0.04 m
then the velocity of the system is zero, so the total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to
E=U= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=0.028 J

b) When the position of the object is 
x=1.00 cm = 0.01 m
the potential energy of the system is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.01 m)^2 = 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} J
and so the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J - 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3}J =0.026 J
since the mass is m=50.0 g=0.05 kg, and the kinetic energy is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
we can re-arrange the formula to find the speed of the object:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.026 J}{0.05 kg} }=1.02 m/s

c) The potential energy when the object is at 
x=3.00 cm=0.03 m
is
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J
Therefore the kinetic energy is
K=E-U=0.028 J-0.016 J = 0.012 J

d) We already found the potential energy at point c, and it is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J
