A boy is running to the east and jumps into a stationary boat in a lake. Once the boy lands in the boat, the boat moves to the east.
Which best compares the initial momentum of the boy with the final momentum of the boy/boat system?
The initial momentum of the boy is zero because the velocity cancels with the mass of the boy.
The initial momentum of the boy is greater than the boy/boat because the boy has a greater velocity than the boat.
The initial momentum of the boy is less than the boy/boat because the boy has less mass than the boat.
The initial momentum of the boy is equal to the boy/boat because the final velocity of the boat is less than the initial velocity of the boy.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
