Steve is planning his annual Spring Break road trip. He pulls out his map and draws out his route to visit the five locations that he has planned for this year. They go in a counterclockwise loop and he ends up at home, where he started, just in time to start classes again. Whenever he is on the road he travels a constant 60 miles/hour. When Steve adds up the total distance traveled, as measured by his odometer, and divides it by the time that his trip took, he has measured what quantity? a. His average velocity.
b. His average speed.
c. His instantaneous velocity.
d. His instantaneous speed.

Steve’s average velocity for the whole trip is:

a. greater than 60 miles/hour.
b. equal to 60 miles/hour.
c. less than 60 mile/hour, but greater than zero.
d. exactly zero.

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?
