question 86

Multiple Choice

A 3.00-kg object moves in a potential U(x) = A , where A is a positive constant. When the object is located at x = -1.50 m, it has a kinetic energy (2.00 m) A. What is the range of the object's motion?

• A)-10.5 m to +10.5 m
• B)-1.50 m to 1.50 m
• C)-0.50 m to +0.50 m
• D)-2.00 m to +2.00 m
• E)-3.50 m to +3.50 m

Definitions:

Plants

Multicellular, photosynthetic eukaryotes that increasingly became adapted to live on land.

Sunken Stomata

Stomatal openings located below the surface level of plant epidermis, helping reduce water loss by decreasing transpiration.

Desert

A barren or desolate area, especially one with little water and sparse vegetation, typically receiving less than 25 cm of precipitation a year.

Small Leaves

Leaf adaptation that reduces surface area to minimize water loss, typically found in plants living in dry or windy environments.
