A block attached to an ideal spring of spring constant 15 N/m executes simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal surface.
 
  At time t = 0 s, the block has a displacement of -0.90 m, a velocity of -0.80 m/s, and an acceleration of +2.9 m/s2 . The mass of the block is closest to
  A) 2.3 kg
  B) 2.6 kg
  C) 4.7 kg
  D) 9.4 kg

Question 2

A light beam having a wavelength of 470 nm in air is directed into glycerine at an angle of 75.0 with the normal in air. Glycerine has a refractive index of 1.47. (c = 3.0  108 m/s)
 
  (a) What are the frequency and wavelength of the light in the glycerine?
  (b) What angle does the light beam make with the normal in the glycerine?

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
