Why is there a tidal bulge on the opposite side of Earth from the Moon?
A. The Sun creates a tidal bulge as well as the Moon. B. Centrifugal force makes the far side of Earth push outward. C. The far side of Earth receives a weaker pull from the Moon, and accelerates less than the near side. D. The gravitational force from the Moon is stronger on the near side, but the pull of Earth on the water is stronger on the far side.

The mantle can be separated into two different portions: the lower mantle and the upper mantle. The lower mantle is
A) completely solid due to extreme pressure that prevents iron-rich silica rocks from melting. B) composed of silly putty that flows like molasses. C) rigid and has no capability of flow. D) predominantly liquid silica.
Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: In a museum exhibit of a simple pendulum, a very small but dense 6.0-kg ball swings from a very light 2.5-m wire. The ball is released from rest when the pendulum wire makes a 65° angle with the vertical, and it swings in a circular arc with no appreciable friction or air resistance. What is the tension in the wire just as the ball swings through its lowest position?
A. 11 N B. 59 N C. 68 N D. 130 N E. 0 N
