A physics student is standing on an icy pond in her ice skates. The ice has very little friction and she needs to move to the north shore of the pond, and is having trouble moving. She has a very heavy physics book in her arms and decides to throw it parallel to the ice. Which way should she throw it to enable her to get closer to the north shore, and which physics principle explains what happens after the book is thrown?

Is it possible to use the energy from two atoms colliding to create a clean burning lasting fuel source with a large amount of force? is it also possible to harness that energy from the two atoms colliding to create a clean energy source that will last for years from just two atoms colliding. is there a possibility to control and store that energy for years but slowly let the energy out enough to power cities cheaper and faster.

Within a pendulum, as potential energy decreases, energy increases. a. heat b. kinetic c. frictional d. gravitational

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
