A weight of mass m is at rest at O when suspended from a spring, as shown. When it is pulled down and released, it oscillates between positions A and B. Which statement about the system consisting of the spring and the mass is correct?
 
   


   
  a.
  The gravitational potential energy of the system is greatest at A.
   
  b.
  The elastic potential energy of the system is greatest at O.
   
  c.
  The rate of change of momentum has its greatest magnitude at A and B.
   
  d.
  The rate of change of gravitational potential energy is smallest at O.
   
  e.
  The rate of change of gravitational potential energy has its greatest magnitude at A and B.

Question 2

The axis is perpendicular to the circular plane of the hoop and the cylinder and to an equatorial plane of the sphere as shown below. Which is the correct ranking in order of increasing angular frequency ?
 
 
 
   
  a.
  hoop, cylinder, sphere
   
  b.
  cylinder, sphere, hoop
   
  c.
  sphere, cylinder, hoop

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
