Mechanics Revision Exercise Q1. Which of the following is/are the direct implication(s) of Newton’s first law? (1) A boy standing on a bus is ’pulled’ backwards when the bus starts moving. (2) On a smooth surface‚ when you push another person in front of you‚ you will move backwards. (3) The balls of different masses reach the ground at the same time in Galileo’s experiment (carried out on the tower of Pisa). A (1) only B (2) only C (3) only D (1) and (2) only Q2.

EXAM 1 NOTES The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure‚ and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Most pressure-measuring devices‚ however‚ are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere (Fig. 3–2)‚ and so they indicate the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. This difference is called the gage pressure. Pgage = Pabs - Patm The pressure at a point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all

1.1 If the Sun should suddenly explode (it can’t) how long would it take for us to notice the event? * According to scientists we have at least 5-6 million years before the sun would ever die out or explode. However if a phenominon like that were to occur there are diffent theories to what might happen. It would take light from the explosion eight minutes to travel the 93 million miles from the sun to the earth. However‚ Newton’s Law of Gravity claims that Earth would suffer an immediate departature

Studying theater. Being a singer. Travelling around the world. Being famous. Being president of the United States. The truth is that all people have dreams thwarted. We all dream of something‚ no matter how we may appear. Steve Jobs‚ Bill Gates‚ Michael Jackson‚ Justin Bieber. They also had a dream that once seemed crazy. And you know who differentiates them from us? They used their imagination. Yes. they imagined their dreams becoming reality and thanks to that found ways to do it. And you know

baby till it shined? If so you probably would be interested in a career as an auto body mechanic! To be an auto body mechanic you must have at least a grade ten education and some employers will also ask you for your high school diploma. So it will be in your best interest to finish high school. You will also need to show that you finished an apprenticeship program as an auto body mechanic and collision damage repairer automotive painter or have a combination over three years of

Force: This can be defined as a pushing or pulling action that causes a change of the state of a body. A long jumper who wants to increase their degree of force will need to increase their weight‚ but this can negatively affect their speed‚ so it is vital to get the balance right. The law of reaction also applies to movements that occur in the air. In these situations the equal and opposite reaction is shown in movements of other parts of the body. A long jumper‚ for example‚ will bring the arms

Classical and Quantum mechanics are the two main fields of mechanics in physics. Classical mechanics came a few hundred years before Quantum mechanics. Subsequently it is less accurate and less reliable then the more recent mechanic field of Quantum mechanics. Despite being outdated‚ Classical mechanics can still be used for many everyday problems with bigger and slower moving objects. However‚ when dealing with extremely fast moving or small subatomic particles a Classical approach will not
