A 400 g rock is tied to one end of a string that is 2.0 m in length and swung around in a circle whose plane is parallel to the ground. A) If the string can withstand a maximum tension of 4.5 N before breaking, what angle to the vertical does the string reach just before breaking? B) At what is the maximum speed the rock can have without breaking the string? C) At this speed, what is the period of the rock? (20 points) Angle = degrees Maximum Speed = m/s Period = s

Each of the tubes below contain the same concentration of E. coli bacterial cells but various volumes. Each tube was treated with 25 micro liters of a particular chemical antimicrobial agent and incubated in the conditions stated under the tube. Which of of the five conditions would you expect the chemical agent be able to kill all cells in the shortest amount of time?
