`DIRECTIONS: Write an answer to each question legible, using
complete sentences and your own words as much as possible.
6. What
information is needed to directly determine the range of a
projectile without using the equations of uniformly accelerated
motion?
7. At
what point in its motion does an ideal projectile stop
accelerating?
8. Do
two projectiles launched at complementary angles always yield the
same range? Explain.
9. When
someone says that all measurement of motion is relative, what is it
relative to? Give an example.
10. Real projectiles do
not have a maximum range for a 45o launch. Discuss why
the ideal angle for real projectiles (like baseballs, golf
balls,..) is slightly lower than 45o.

Interstellar cloud having a diameter of 1013 km and a rotation period of 106 years collaps- ing to a sphere the size of the Sun (1.4 x 106 km in diameter). We point out that if all the cloud’s angular momentum went into that sphere, the sphere would have a rotation period of only 0.6 second. Do the calculation to confirm this result.

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 41.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 18.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.)

On his way to class, a student on a skateboard is accelerating on a downhill stretch. Which of the following are true.
I know the answer is
a) the skateboarder is moving in the direction of the net force
b) the skateboarder is subjected to a net external force in the direction of motion
c) the skateboarders acceleration is in the direction of the net force
I am struggling to understand why all three of these answers are correct. Could you possibly explain to me why each of these is correct. I know it is in correlation with Newtons first law but i need further explanation to help understand it because it is not clicking in my head.
Thank you for your time!!
