Provide a complete solution for each problem. Use illustrations/diagrams to visualize the given
problem.
1) Rank the inertia of the following items assuming they are all at rest:
a) a school bus
b) a small child
c) a compact car
d) you
2) Identify the law(s) of motion that can be seen or feel in the following instances:
a) A pitcher throws a baseball at 150 km/hr towards the catcher.
b) A pinch hitter hits a baseball with his bat.
c) Physics book sitting on top of the table.
d) A basketball rolling on the floor.
e) Two delinquent boys wrestling over money.
3) Devs and Vanj are sitting 112 cm apart from each other in their office, when suddenly
they felt a strong force of gravity of around 2.76 x 10-5 N pulling them together. If both of
them weigh the same, what is their mass in kilograms?
Answer each question concisely with your own understanding of the concepts discussed.
1) You are helping a friend move a cabinet. Your friend asks you to stand inside the back
of the pick-up truck to hold onto a cabinet because there is no rope available to tie it
to the truck. Use physics principles to explain why you should refuse this request.
2) Explain why the application of Newton’s First Law of Motion is important in
transportation safety.
