A student has begun training for tryouts for lacrosse by running a two mile loop through her neighborhood every evening. Part of the run is a very steep hill. One evening, the student is running down the hill at a very quick pace when she notices a dog lying in the middle of her path. To avoid hitting the dog, she tries to stop but has difficulty. With effort, she is able to stop right before running into the dog. Explain why it was so difficult for the student to stop. In your response, be sure to include: The role of Newton's first law in making it difficult for the student to stop. The correct use of the term inertia. Why some objects in motion have more inertia than others.

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)

Arigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. one part of the tank contains 3 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kpa and 60°c while the other part is evacuated. the partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kpa. use steam tables.
