What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface?
 
  The mass of Mars is 6.42  1023 kg, its radius is 3.40  106 m, and G = 6.67  10-11 N  m2/kg2.
  A) 1.45 h B) 1.00 h C) 1.15 h D) 1.25 h E) 1.75 h

Question 2

An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton. When they were very far away from each other,
 
  but headed toward directly each other, a proton and an alpha particle each had an initial speed of 0.0030c, where c is the speed of light. What is their distance of closest approach? Hint: There are two conserved quantities. Make use of both of them. (c = 3.00  108 m/s, k = 1/40 = 8.99  109 N  m2/C2, e = 1.60  10-19 C, mproton = 1.67 x 10-27 kg)
  A) 3.3  10-13 m B) 2.6  10-13 m C) 2.1  10-13 m D) 2.9  10-13 m

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.
