Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Question 1:


1
Question 1
  • 1.) Suppose you are standing in the aisle of a
    bus that travels along a straight road at
    100km/h, and you hold a pencil still above the
    bus. Then relative to the bus, the velocity of
    the pencil is 0 km/h, and relative to the road ,
    the pencil has a horizontal velocity?
  • less than 100km?hr
  • 100 km/hr
  • more than 100km/hr

Question 2
  • 2. Imagine a place in the cosmos far from all
    gravitational and frictional influences. Suppose
    an astronaut in that place throws a rock. The
    rock will
  • a) gradually stop.
  • b) continue in motion in the same direction at
    constant speed.

Question 3
3. Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac
says that if he throws his jello with a greater
speed it will have a greater inertia. Tosh argues
that inertia does not depend upon speed, but
rather upon mass. With whom do you agree? Why?

Question 4
  • 4. If you were in a weightless environment in
    space, would it require a force to set an object
    in motion?

Yes

Question 5
  • 5. Mr. Wegley spends most Sunday afternoons at
    rest on the sofa, watching pro football games and
    consuming large quantities of food. What effect
    (if any) does this practice have upon his
    inertia? Explain.

Mr. Wegelys inertia will increase!
