Answer to Question 1

Heat will always flow from where there is more to where there is less. In the case of a glass of ice water, the least amount of energy is in the ice. Conduction causes energy to flow from the drink into the ice, cooling the drink. This in turn causes energy to flow from the warmer glass into the cold drink, cooling the glass. Finally, heat flows from the warmer air molecules colliding with the glass into the cooler glass, so that the air near the glass also cools down. Eventually, this entire process causes the air near the glass surface to be cooled to its dew point. Once this happens, the air becomes saturated and ambient humidity is forced to start condensing out of it, forming the 'sweat' on the side of the glass.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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.
