An Excerpt from “Optimism”
by Helen Keller
1 Could we choose our environment, and were desire in human undertakings synonymous with
endowment, all men would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly most of us regard happiness as
the proper end of all earthly enterprise. The will to be happy animates alike the philosopher, the
prince and the chimney-sweep. No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels
that happiness is his indisputable right.
2 It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular
places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some
in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the
exploration of their own minds, or in the search for knowledge.
3 Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession.
Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they would be!
Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so
measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and
weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so
thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life,—if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to
the creed of optimism is worth hearing....
4 Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then
love came and set my soul free. Once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and
joy. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I rejoice in the
consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My life was without past or future; death,
the pessimist would say, “a consummation devoutly to be wished.” But a little word from the
fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the
rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought, and love and joy and hope came up in a
passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity, who has felt
the thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?
5 My early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. If I tried, I could not check the
momentum of my first leap out of the dark; to move breast forward is a habit learned suddenly
at that first moment of release and rush into the light. With the first word I used intelligently, I
learned to live, to think, to hope. Darkness cannot shut me in again. I have had a glimpse of the
shore, and can now live by the hope of reaching it.
6 So my optimism is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said I must be happy
because I did not see the bare, cold present, but lived in a beautiful dream. I do live in a
beautiful dream; but that dream is the actual, the present,—not cold, but warm; not bare, but
furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel

While driving your car at a fast constant speed, you have to press down hard on your gas pedal than you do while driving at a slower constant speed.
In both cases, the net force on your car is zero. Explain why you have to apply a greater pressure to your gas pedal.
Answer:
You have to apply more pressure to the pedal so more gas runs through the car allowing it to reach higher speeds
To move, a car or any other object must be accelerated from rest to the desired speed; this necessitates that the engine force be greater than the friction force. The net force must be zero once the car is moving at constant velocity; otherwise, the car will accelerate (gain speed).
What forces act on a car at constant speed?All forces acting on a car moving at a constant speed (uniform motion) are balanced. In this case, the two opposing backward forces (air resistance and friction) perfectly balance the applied force of the wheels on the road.When we say constant speed, we mean that a body or object moves at a constant change in distance over time. For example, if we are walking in a straight line at 1 step per second, we can say we are moving at a constant speed. Our acceleration is equal to zero in this case.To learn more about : Speed

Gravity will apply a different amount of force to objects with different mass. The force of gravity can also be called
a. weight.
b. inertia.
c. kilograms.
d. resistance.
e. Mass
Answer:
E.Mass
Explanation:
Since the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So as the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

The basic components of matter are called atoms. What are the various particles present in an atom?
(Answer: electrons, protons, neutrons) Where are they? (Answer: Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and electrons are in the shell around the nucleus.)
A normal atom is electronically ** (positive/negative/neutral) because the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with a positive charge, equals the number of ** (protons/neutrons/electrons), each with a negative charge.
The answers to multiple choice questions are in parentheses
Answer:
(neutral)
(protons)
(electrons)
Explanation:
Electrons have a negative charge (-) while protons have a positive (+) charge.
Atoms will usually be neutral, which means that there will be no charge.
For an atom to have a neutral charge, protons and electrons must "cancel" each other out. For this to happen, you need to have the same amount of each.
Positive will "cancel" out the negative.

7. If microsecound = 0.5, how much force must be applied to a spring (spring constant of 0.8 N/m) which is attached to a block of wood (mass = 4.0 kg) in order to just begin to move the block?
Answer:
Explanation:
Your question is quite confusing, particularly the information about microsecond = 0.5.
I'm going to ASSUME that you mean coefficient of static friction μs = 0.5
unfortunately typing a subscript "s" is very difficult and probably leads to such confusion.
I will also ASSUME that the block, and spring, and force vector are all horizontal.
If the force is slowly increased until the block slips, the spring will compress until the force on each end equals the maximum static friction force. As we are not concerned with the compression distance, only the force, we can ignore the spring constant information and simply find the maximum available static friction force.
F = μN
F = μmg
F = 0.5(4.0)(9.8)
F = 19.6 N
Not that it matters, but the spring will have extended or compressed 19.6/0.8 = 24.5 m, which is a very long and very light spring

Indicate whether each of the following statements about car collisions is true or false. Select all that are True.
a. If two identical cars with identical speeds collide head on, the magnitude of the impulse received by each car and each driver is the same as if one car at the same speed had collided head on with a concrete wall.
b. Car 1 has mass m, and car 2 has mass 2m. In a head-on collision of these cars while moving at identical speeds in opposite directions, car 1 experiences a bigger acceleration than car 2.
c. The essential safety benefit of crumple zones (parts of the front of a car designed to receive maximum deformation during a head-on collision) is due to their absorbing kinetic energy, converting it into deformation, and lengthening the effective collision time, thus reducing the average force experienced by the driver.
d. Car 1 has mass m, and car 2 has mass 2m. In a head-on collision of these cars while moving at identical speeds in opposite directions, car 1 receives an impulse of bigger magnitude than that received by car 2. If car 1 has mass m and speed v, and car 2 has mass 0.5m and speed 1.5v, then both cars have the same momentum.
Answer:
True statements a, b, and c
Explanation:
Answer d is false because in any collision, each object receives the same impulse. Also the momentum of car 1 is mv, while the momentum of car 2 is 0.5m(1.5v) = 0.75mv
The impulse of collision of cars depends on the mass and velocity of the cars. The statements which are true about the car collisions are option a, b, c.
What is impulse?Impulse is a physical quantity expressed as the product of force and time. The change in momentum mΔV is numerically equals to the impulse F t.
If two identical cars with identical speeds collide head on, the magnitude of the impulse received by each car and each driver is the same as if one car at the same speed had collided head on with a concrete wall. Because they have equal mass and velocity.
The bigger acceleration is experienced by the one which have lighter mass thus car 1 with lower mass experience higher acceleration .
The essential safety benefit of crumple zones (parts of the front of a car designed to receive maximum deformation during a head-on collision) is due to their absorbing kinetic energy.
Converting this energy into deformation, and lengthening the effective collision time, thus reducing the average force experienced by the driver.
The momentum change is proportional to the velocity. The one which have higher velocity is having the higher momentum. Thus car 2 have higher velocity. Thus option d is false.
Therefore, the statements which are true are a, b and c.

why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky
Answer: These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.
Explanation: why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky
Answer:
because the world moves around and around rotating in a circle and circling around the sun so as we move the stars stay the same but to our view it looks like their moving but in reality we are.

what is the difference between soldering and solder?
Answer:
Soldering is a technique or a process to bond metals with the help of solder. Solder is a metal alloy with a low melting point and is often regarded as the base metal for soldering. The piece or structure that is being bonded together does not get hot enough to melt and this is where solder (base metal) comes into play and creates the connection.

Does static electricity light our homes? True or false
Answer:
No, false.
Explanation:
You may use it to power a light bulb if you desired. The reason it isn't is because it's inconsistent not predictable.
The static electricity light our homes. This statement is false.
What is static electricity?When two objects are rubbed, they get charged by friction present into it. Object can also be charged by induction.
The charge gets accumulated on them, due to which spark occurs.
This spark cannot light our homes. As, this has very less magnitude and no continuous flow. There is no complete circuit to get the continuous flow of electricity.
Thus, static electricity can't light our homes.

Two spherically symmetric planets with no atmosphere have the same average density, but planet B has twice the radius of planet A. A small satellite of mass mA has period TA when it orbits planet A in a circular orbit that is just above the surface of the planet. A small satellite of mass mB has period TB when it orbits planet B in a circular orbit that is just above the surface of the planet.
A period of a satellite is the time taken by the satellite to travel round a
body.
The comparison between the periods [tex]T_B[/tex], and [tex]T_A[/tex] is [tex]\underline {T_B = \dfrac{\sqrt{2} }{4 } \cdot T_A}[/tex]
Reason:
The period, T, of a satellite is given as follows;
[tex]T = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \cdot M} }[/tex]
Volume of the planet A = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3[/tex]
Mass of planet A, [tex]m_A[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho[/tex]
Volume of the planet B = [tex]\dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot (2 \cdot r)^3 = \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3[/tex]
Mass of planet B, [tex]m_B[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho[/tex]
Period of the satellite on planet A, [tex]T_A[/tex], is given as follows;
[tex]T_A = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \times \dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho} } = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{G \times \dfrac{4}{3} \cdot \pi \times \rho} }[/tex]
Period of the satellite on planet B, [tex]T_B[/tex], is given as follows;
[tex]T_B = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{G \times \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \times \rho} } = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{G \times \dfrac{32}{3} \cdot \pi \times \rho} }[/tex]
Therefore, get;
[tex]\dfrac{T_A}{T_B} = \dfrac{ 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{G \times 4 \cdot \pi \times \rho} }}{ 2 \cdot \pi \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{G \times 32 \cdot \pi \times \rho} }} = \sqrt{\dfrac{32}{4} } = \sqrt{8} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{2}[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]T_A[/tex] = (2·√2)·[tex]T_B[/tex]
[tex]T_B = \dfrac{T_A}{2 \cdot \sqrt{2} } = \dfrac{\sqrt{2} \cdot T_A}{4 }[/tex]
