A body is suspended from a spring hanging vertically. The body is then pulled downward so the spring stretches. Consider the change in the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring and the change in gravitational potential energy (GPE) as the body is pulled down.

A physics professor places a soda pop can on the table and asks a student to identify the forces acting upon the can and the directions of each force. The two forces acting on the soda pop can are

A common experience is to find that a steady pull is required to keep an object moving, even on a level surface, when friction is present. Analyzing this experience in light of the laws of motion, the accepted conclusion is that

The momentum of a truck is increased by a factor of 2; its weight does not change. Thus,

If a single force acts on a moving object

In this diagram a force acting on a block is shown by the arrow labeled F. The mass of the block is known, as is the size of the force, but the observed acceleration is larger than F/m and so another force must act on the block. In which direction (A, B, C, or D) is this force?

A bullet is fired straight down from a hovering helicopter. If we neglect air friction, then the speed of the bullet

Which of the following are expected changes in Respiratory Therapy? 1. Patient care teams will be the standard 2. CRT will become more prevalent 3. Reimbursement changes to recognize health promotion and disease state management 4. Decreasing use of protocols across care sites

If air resistance can be ignored, which of the following graphs will be a straight line for a falling object?

Due to the aging of the majority of the population, which of the following will be the focus of the Respiratory Therapist of the future? 1. Verifying insurance information 2. Disease management and rehabilitation 3. Patient and family education 4. Tobacco education and smoking cessation
