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

The "rare Earth hypothesis" holds that Earth-like planets will prove to be quite rare. Which of the following statements best sums up the current status of the debate over this hypothesis?
A) It is no longer discussed, because as part of its broad cover-up of UFOs, the United States government has classified all the material relating to this debate as Top Secret.

C) The debate raged for a while, but is now settled. We are now quite certain that Earth-like planets are rare. D) The debate raged for a while, but is now settled. We are now quite certain that Earth-like planets are common.
