You have a balloon that contains 1 kg of helium that occupies a volume of 4 m sometime later, the balloon still holds 1 kg of helium, but it now occupies a volume of 2m'. your friend suggests that the helium can be considered an isolated system in this case. can they be correct?

Your pendulum clock which advances 1.0 s for every complete oscillation of the pendulum is running perfectly on earth at a site where the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2. you send the clock to a location on the moon where the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 1.65 m/s2.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. at one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m/s, it then flies a further distance of 40100 m and afterwards its velocity is 47.5 m/s. find the airplane\'s acceleration and calculate how much time elapses while the airplane covers those 40100 m.

Aboxcar traveling at 12 m/s approaches a string of 5 identical boxcars sitting stationary on the track. the moving boxcar collides and links with the stationary cars and they all move off together along the track. what is the final speed of the cars immediately after the collision? (you may take the mass of each boxcar to be 18,537 kg.)
