b. only the directions in which static charges would accelerate when at points on those lines
c. only the directions in which moving charges would accelerate when at points on those lines.
d. tangents to the directions in which either static or moving charges would accelerate when passing through points on those lines.
e. the paths static or moving charges would take.

Multiple-Object Accelerating Systems: A locomotive is pulling 9 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same weight. The mass of each loaded car is 37,000 kg, and we can neglect friction on these 9 cars. If the train is accelerating forward at 0.81 m/s2 on a level track, what is the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars? (The car nearest the locomotive is counted as the first car.)

A radioactive isotope that emits a gamma quantum will change in what respect?

Determine the overall thermal resistance per unit area for the wall shown in Figure 2-51. Exclude the thermal resistance due to convection heat transfer in the analysis. Then, if the heat transfer is expected to be 190W/m^2 and the exposed brick surface is 10ºC, estimate the temperature distribution through the wall.
A He-Ne laser, which produces light of wavelength 632.8 nm, is used to calibrate a diffraction grating. If the first-order maximum occurs at 20.5° from the central spot, what is the distance between the slits of the grating?
