As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act on it: one force is conservative and does -70 J of work, the other force is nonconservative and does +50 J of work. Between A and B,
 a. the kinetic energy of object increases, mechanical energy increases.
  b. the kinetic energy of object decreases, mechanical energy increases.
  c. the kinetic energy of object decreases, mechanical energy decreases.
  d. the kinetic energy of object increases, mechanical energy decreases.
  e. None of the above.

Question 2

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act on it: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the other force is conservative and does +50 J of work. Between A and B,
 a. the kinetic energy of object increases, mechanical energy decreases.
  b. the kinetic energy of object decreases, mechanical energy decreases.
  c. the kinetic energy of object decreases, mechanical energy increases.
  d. the kinetic energy of object increases, mechanical energy increases.
  e. None of the above.

Hip fractures are the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. The incidence of hip fractures increases with each decade among patients in their 60s to patients in their 90s for both women and men of all populations. Men and women older than 80 years of age show the highest incidence of hip fractures.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

Most childhood vaccines are 90–99% effective in preventing disease. Side effects are rarely serious.

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
