A solid block of metal in electrostatic equilibrium is placed in a uniform electric field. Give a statement concerning the electric field in the block's interior.
 
  A)
 
  The interior field points in a direction opposite to the exterior field.
  B)
 
  The interior field points in a direction that is at right angles to the exterior field.
  C)
 
  The interior points in a direction that is parallel to the exterior field.
  D)
 
  There is no electric field in the block's interior.
  E)
 
  Not enough information is given to make a statement concerning the elecric field on the block's interior.

Question 2

Discuss the various energy conversions that occur when a person performs a pole vault. Include as many conversions as you can, and consider times before, during, and after the actual vault itself.

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The jumper's initial kinetic energy is largely converted to a compressional, spring-like potential energy as the pole bends. The pole straightens out, converting its potential energy into gravitational potential energy. As the jumper falls, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and finally, the kinetic energy is converted to compressional potential energy as the cushioning pad on the ground is compressed.

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.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
