In Ptolemy's model, which of the following-epicycle, equant, or deferent-travels in uniform circular motion as viewed from a particular point? Name and describe that point. Are these uniform circular motions at the same speeds and in the same directions?

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

Jasmine is diving off a 3-meter springboard. her height in meters above the water when she is x meters horizontally from the end of the board is approximated by the equation h=-x^2+3x+3. what is the maximum height jasmine will reach on her dive?

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of the uniform distributed load that can be applied to the beam without risk of causing the strut to buckle. take f.s. = 2 against bucklin
