A 0.50-kg box is attached to an ideal spring of spring constant 20 N/m on a horizontal, frictionless floor.
 
  The box oscillates in simple harmonic motion and has a speed of 1.5 m/s at the equilibrium position.
  (a) What is the amplitude of vibration?
  (b) At what distance from the equilibrium position are the kinetic energy and the potential energy the same?

Question 2

If you add 1.33 MJ of thermal energy to 500 g of water at 50C in a sealed container, what is the final temperature of the steam?
 
  The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.6  105 J/kg, the specific heat of steam is 2010 J/kg  K, and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg  K.
  A) 100C
  B) 112C
  C) 123C
  D) 147C
  E) 195C

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
