Correct answer: a) True.

In fact, the soil at the poles consists mainly of snow. Snow has an albedo of 90%: albedo is the fraction of light (and so, of energy) that is reflected back to the space. This means that at the poles, about 90% of the light is reflected back to the space, while only 10% is absorbed.

Explain the purpose of pumping while running through a half pipe
scoray [572]
<span>The purpose of pumping is to increase overall velocity. The person drops down into a crouch while traversing the more-or-less flat bottom of the U-shaped pipe or bowl. Then, as he enters the sloped part of the ramp or bowl, called the transition, he straightens his legs and rises up. By raising his center of mass just at the beginning of the arc, the person gains energy and thereby increases his speed.</span>

found the potential spring energy. not sure how to find the height of the block by knowing only the mass. found the weight of it
evablogger [386]

(h + .16) m g = 1/2 k x^2   total PE of block relative to where it stops

(h + .16) .82 * 9.8 = .5 * 120 * .16^2    PE released = PE of  spring

8.04 h + 1.29 = 1.536

h = (1.536 - 1.29) / 8.04 = .031 m = 3.1 cm

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples
SOVA2 [1]
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)
