Figure 1.60 shows the trajectory of a ball travelling through the air, affected by both gravity and air resistance.
Here are the positions of the ball at several successive times.
Location | t(s) | Position ( m) |
A | 0.0 | (0,0,0) |
B | 1.0 | (22.3,26.1,0) |
C | 2.0 | (40.1,38.1,0) |
a) What is the average velocity of the ball as it travels between location A and location B? b) If the ball continued to travel at the same average velocity during the next second, where would it be at the end of that second? (That is, where would it be at time t=2s )c) How does your prediction from part b) compare to the actual position of the ball at t=2s(location C)? If the predicted and the observed location of the ball are different, explain why?

A star is located atm. A planet is located atm. (a) What is the vector pointing from the star to the planet? (b) What is the vector pointing from the planet to the star?
Question: Moving objects left the traces labeled A-F in Figure 1.54. The dots were deposited at equal time intervals (for example, one dot each second). In each case the object starts from the square. Which trajectories show evidence that the moving object was interacting with another object somewhere? If there is evidence of an interaction, what is the evidence?

In the periodic table on the inside front cover of this book (or one you find on the internet), for each element there is given the "atomic number," the number of protons or electrons in an atom, and the "atomic mass," which is essentially the number of nucleons, protons plus neutrons, in the nucleus, averaged over the various isotopes of the element, which differ in the number of neutrons. Make a graph of the number of neutrons vs. the number of protons in the elements. You needn't graph every element, just enough to see the trend. What do you observe about the data? (This reflects the need for more neutrons in proton-rich nuclei in order to prevent the electric repulsion of the protons of each other from destroying the nucleus.)
