Light reflects off of surfaces. It is also absorbed by opaque materials and transmitted through transparent objects. Consider this diagram of two sheets of construction paper. Elaborate on the behavior of the incident light waves.
A)White paper reflects the incoming waves, while black absorbs the incoming waves.
B) White paper reflects some of the incoming waves, while black absorbs all of the incoming waves.
C) The white paper absorbs and transmits light waves, while the black paper absorbs all light waves.
D) Some of the light waves incident on the white paper are reflected and some are absorbed. None of the light waves are reflected from the black paper.

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
