Liz and Jacqueline each hit a golf ball off the top of an ocean cliff. Liz's ball has a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s and a vertical velocity of 1 m/s.
Jacqueline's ball has a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s and a vertical velocity of
2 m/s. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Liz's ball will stay in the air longer and travel farther.
B. Jacqueline's ball will stay in the air longer and travel farther.
C. The two balls will stay in the air the same time, but Liz's will travel
farther.
D. The two balls will stay in the air the same time, but Jacqueline's
will travel farther.

11. you want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before hitting the water?

To create electromagnetic induction, which of the following has to move? a. a wire b. a magnet c. a transformer d. either a or b

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.
