Think back to the last time you got a new phone and had to figure out how it worked. In what way did you employ the scientific method, maybe without even realizing that you did?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) Scenes in films or television programs sometimes show people jumping off moving trains and having unpleasant encounters with the ground. If someone is on a moving flatbed train car and wishes to jump off, how could the person use the concept of relative speed to make a safer dismount?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) A wind is blowing from the north (the air is moving toward the south). When a person is walking toward the north, is the relative speed of the wind that the person senses greater than, the same as, or less than the speed the person senses when not walking? How about when the person is walking toward the south?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . The following are speeds and headings displayed on a GPS receiver, (Heading gives the direction of motion based on north = 0°, east = 90°, south = 180°, etc,) In each case, indicate whether the receiver was accelerating during the time between the displays and, if it was, describe in what way the receiver was accelerating. (a) Initially: 60 mpht 70°; 5 seconds later: .50 mph, 70°. (b) Initially: .50 mph, 70°; 5 seconds later: 70 mph, 70°. (c) Initially: 60 mph, 70°; 5 seconds later: 60 mph, 90°.
Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) Air molecules in a warm room (27°C = 300 K) typically have speeds of about 500 m/s (1,100 mph). Why is it that we are unaware of these fast-moving particles continuously colliding with our bodies?
Math Review Simplify the following expression in terms of the dimensions mass, length, and time given by [M], [L],and [T]. (See Section 1.3.) [M][L]2[T]3[T][L][T]=?
