What steps are always part of both the process of technological design and the process of scientific investigation? Check all that apply.

The uniform slender bar rests on a smooth horizon- tal surface when a force f is applied normal to the bar at point a. point a is observed to have an initial acceleration aa of 20 m/s2, and the bar has a corre- sponding angular acceleration of 18 rad /s2. deter- mine the distance b.

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 of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)
