Discussion Topic Whenever important physicists are discussed, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and Albert
Einstein seem get the most attention. However, as you've seen, Galileo formulated or
refined many of his discoveries and theories based on the findings of others who came
before him, including Aristotle and Nicolaus Copernicus. Likewise, Newton claimed that
he "stood on the shoulders of giants" in developing his work. You've just begun your study
of physics, but from what you know (or can research and find out) take a position that
Galileo, Newton, and Einstein deserve this special recognition. Alternately, identify a
physicist that you think has been overlooked, compared to these three. Do some
research and support your opinion with credible arguments.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

Afaulty model rocket moves in the xy-plane (the positive y direction is vertically upward). the rocket's acceleration has components ax(t) = ? t2 and ay(t) = ? ? ? t, where ? = 2.50 m/s4 , ? = 9.00 m/s2 , and ? = 1.40 m/s3 . at t = 0 the rocket is at the origin and has velocity ~v0 = v0x ? i + v0y ? j with v0x = 1.00 m/s and v0y = 7.00 m/s. (a) calculate the velocity and position vectors as functions of time. (b) what is the maximum height reached by the rocket? (c) sketch the path of the rocket. (d) what is the horizontal displacement of the rocket when it returns to y = 0?
