What is inertia? Discuss which object among the following sets has more inertia and why.

a. a more massive object or less massive object.

b. fast moving object or a slow moving object

You can jump 3 m (10 feet) off of a diving board and into a swimming pool and be uninjured. However, if you jumped from the same height onto concrete it would be very bad. Use the principles of impulse and momentum to explain this.

Select the object that has the most gravitational force. a sand grain a marble a bowling ball a tennis ball

Two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other, so that their transmission directions are parallel to one another. A beam of unpolarized light of intensity?0 is directed at the two filters.

How is velocity different than speed? - Velocity is how fast something is moving at one specific moment. Example: you can run on a treadmill at 10 mph. -Velocity is speed with direction. Example: you can run outside at 10 mph north.

Three perfectly polarizing sheets are spaced 2? cm {/rm cm} apart and in parallel planes. The transmission axis of the second sheet is 28? / deg relative to the first one.

A flash of white light containing all the colors of the visible spectrum in air shines straight down on the surface of a pool.

A car accelerates uniformly from 0 to 15m/s in 5 s. Calculate acceleration.

Which device would a sleep researcher use to monitor a sleeping person's brain waves?

An experiment is performed to obtain the value of a physical property. If the true (i. e., correct) value of the property is 50 and the measured (i. e., experimental) value is 32, the percent error of the experimental result is:

White moths were found in huge numbers in the city of Birmingham. These moths could be easily camouflaged by the trees. Because of sudden industrial development, the trees in the city were covered with soot.
