What is a rebound effect? Give examples of micro- and
macroeconomic rebound effects. Does the existence of rebound
effects strengthen or weaken the case for a government program to
weatherize the homes of low-income homeowners to reduce carbon
emissions?
Explain the Twin’s Paradox and its resolution. Be sure to
explain why the paradox is a paradox, that is: What is it about the
Special Theory of Relativity that appears to make it fatally
contradict itself and what the resolution is in terms of what the
space faring twin experiences that the Earthbound twin does
not.

Explain the photoelectric effect in terms of energy. In your
explanation, start with the energy of the incident EMR photons and
finish with the energy of the stopping voltage. Be sure to include
the following terms in your answer: threshold frequency, light
intensity, photoelectron current, work function, photoelectron
kinetic energy and stopping voltage.
Task 2 – Subsequent Motion
The ball in Task 1 will then continue to bounce and rebound until it loses all energy. By first finding an expression for the maximum height of the ball after the first bounce, find formulas for the total distance travelled by the ball (i.e. the total distance travelled up and down for all bounces) and the total time taken to complete its motion. A ball of mass 0.06 kg is dropped from rest from...
What is the voting paradox? Explain the voting paradox in the
Business goal game you have learned. If you are playing the game as
the leader in the group “Right”, what are your best strategies for
your group and explain why?
(A) What is Olber's paradox?
(B) Explain how Olber's paradox supports the Big Bang theory.
(C) Name the properties of the Cosmic Background Radiation observed
from the Earth.
Also, discuss the connection between the Cosmic Background
Radiation and the Big Bang theory.
(D) Predict how Cosmic Background Radiation will change in the
future.
Explain how the The Twin Paradox paradox arises when we use our
everyday experience of space and time as absolutes. To the best of
your ability, resolve the The Twin Paradox paradox.
