You place a book on your desk, and then you begin to lift one edge of the desk. You make the following observations: At first the book does not move. When you lift the desk edge higher, the book begins to slide slowly. As you lower the desk slightly, the book slows down, then stops. Use your knowledge of forces and friction to explain your observations.

Which of the following represents an upright image? a. -do b. +m c. -m d. +do

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

The mantle is made up of which structural zones?
