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?

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).
