Consider a mass m constrained to move on the x axis and subject to a net force F = kx where k is a positive constant. The mass is released from rest at x = x0 at time t = 0. Use the result (2.85) in Problem 2.12 to find the mass's speed as a function of x; that is, dx I dt = g(x) for some function g(

Why do researchers find the study of fraternal twins important? a. They share similar environments and the same genetic code. b. Data collected concerning their similarities is necessary for calculating heritability. c. They are the same age and are usually raised in similar environments, but they do

The feather moss Pleurozium schreberi harbors species of symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Scientists studying this moss in northern forests found that the percentage of the ground surface covered by the moss increased from about 5% in forests that had burned 35 to 41 years ago to about 70% in fore
