Suggest a way that you and a friend could measure the acceleration due to gravity, using a tennis ball, stopwatch, meter stick, and tape:

1. the procedure you would use,
2. assume and assign some values for the measurements you would make (don’t forget your
units),
3. and calculate what the acceleration due to gravity would be using your assigned values.

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)

A980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg suv stopped at a red light. the bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.6m before stopping. the police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. what was that speed?

Multiple choice. choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1) if the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be 1) a) negative. b) positive. c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves. 2) a truck has four times the mass of a car and is moving with twice the speed of the car. if kt and kc refer to the kinetic energies of truck and car respectively, it is correct to say that 2) a) kt = 16kc . b) kt = 1 2 kc. c) kt = kc . d) kt = 2kc . e) kt = 4kc . 3) you and your friend, who weighs the same as you, want to go to the top of the eiffel tower. your friend takes the elevator straight up. you decide to walk up the spiral stairway, taking longer to do so. compare the gravitational
