Question 16 , , , Question text The physics principles of energy, matter, space and time cannot be understood without Calculus. Select one: True False Question 17 , , , Question text An internal combustion engine that powers a car is made possible by the physical principles of: Select one: a. Fission and Fusion b. Mass and Momentum c. Electricity and Magnetism d. Heat and Energy Question 18 , , , Question text Physics describes things ______ Select one: a. Only in the very largest scales of Galaxies and the Universe b. Only in the very smallest scales of Atoms and Quarks c. At all scales from large to small and everything in between d. Only in terms of complex equations Question 19 , , , Question text A measurement can be Select one: a. A purely qualitative observation (example : The sky is blue) b. A Purely quantitative observation (example: = 475 nm) λ c. Often a combination of qualitative and quantitative (example: The sky is brightest at 475 nm which corresponds to blue light) d. All of the above Question 20 , , , Question text It is easier to push a box across a slippery surface than a sticky surface and roadways are quite slick in the rain. Given this information interpret why driving a car is difficult on a rainy day. Select one: a. A car has a very large mass and thus the frictional force between such a massive object and the road will be greater than for a box. b. A rubber tire needs to be somewhat ‘sticky’ to roll and move forward without losing traction. The goal is to roll and not slide. c. When pushing you want to minimize friction between the box and the surface, but you are not pushing a car, it is essentially pulling itself forward. d. A slick roadway has a different coefficient of friction than a slippery surface and thus motion along the road will behave differently. Question 21 , , , Question text Historically why was understanding the moon’s effect on tides useful? Select one: a. One orbit of the moon is roughly a month on the Gregorian calendar b. Lunar eclipse was often seen as a bad omen c. A full moon was a good time to wage war at night d. Allowed prediction of daily tides which directly impacted ocean transport Question 22 , , , Question text We use patterns to do all of the following EXCEPT: Select one: a. Predict the weather b. Describe positions of stars in the night sky c. Know when to plant and harvest crops d. Make impulse decisions [Show More]
