a. one third its weight on earth’s surface.
b. nine times greater than its weight on earth’s surface.
c. three times greater than its weight on earth’s surface.
d. the same as its weight on earth’s surface.

Name three different units of energy used to measure heat and describe what type of situations each is usually used.

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2

Which is an example of gaining a static charge by conduction? a) rubbing a balloon against your hair. b) shuffling your shoes across a carpet. c) bringing a charged rod near an electroscope. d) touching your car on a cold day and getting a shock.
