Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above it.
 
  How far above the electron would the proton have to be? (k = 1/40 = 9.0  109 N  m2/C2, e = 1.6  10-19 C, mproton = 1.67  10-27 kg, melectron = 9.11  10-31 kg)
  A) 4.6 m B) 3.7 m C) 5.1 m D) 2.3 m E) 1.5 m

Question 2

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the Moon, at time t = 0 s, with an upward velocity of 30.0 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the Moon is 1.62 m/s2, and the Moon has no atmosphere.
 
  The height of the rock when it is descending with a speed of 20.0 m/s is closest to A) 115 m.
  B) 125 m.
  C) 135 m.
  D) 145 m.
  E) 154 m.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.
