PROBLEM: This force is represented by a first derivative with respect to position in the harmonic oscillator equation. In one model, this force stems from tiny electrostatic repulsions. It can be understood as the parallel shear component of the contact force, whose other component is typically calculated as mg cosine theta. It is calculated from a coefficient, symbolized mu, multiplied by the normal force. Rolling motion is affected by the "kinetic" type of this force, which is known as "drag" in fluids. For 10 points, name this force that resists the motion of objects against one another.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: Urban renewal in this city has focused on the Docklands neighborhood. It is the location of La Trobe, Deakin and Monash universities and its downtown is centered on the pedestrian malls of Bourke and Swanston. Extending east to Point Nepean, it is the southernmost metro area of more than a million residents in the world and is found where the Yarra River enters Port Phillip Bay. For ten points, name this southeastern Australian city, the capital of Victoria and the second-largest city in the country after Sydney.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: Each of the leaves on the right side of this painting has a gold spine and outline and the tree trunks are highlighted with short diagonal lines of gold.
