Newton's first law of motion, or the law of inertia, states: "An object will continue in its state of motion
unless acted upon by a net outside force."

Alex was traveling to school when he had a little accident. First, Alex's skateboard got caught on a crack in the sidewalk, but Alex himself kept moving forward. Then, a startled passerby stopped directly in front of Alex. Finally, Alex collided with the passerby, coming to a rather painful stop. At which point was Alex himself acted on by a net outside force?
A.
when he collided with the passerby
B.
when the passerby stopped
C.
when the skateboard got caught on the sidewalk
D.
when he kept moving forward

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c. what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.
