1) Imagine an object moving horizontally with uniform (that is, constant) velocity. Sketch the position time and velocity-time graphs for this motion.
2) Imagine tossing an object straight up into the air, then catching it. Sketch the position-time and velocity-time graphs for this motion, from the moment it leaves your hand to the moment just before it lands in your hand.
3) Imagine tossing a ball slightly upwards and towards another person. Consider the motion from the moment the ball leaves your hand to the moment just before it lands in the other person’s hands. Draw the trajectory for the ball. In how many dimensions is the object moving?

Your cousin’s voice sound different over the telephone than it does in person. This is because telephones
do not transmit frequencies over about 3000 Hz. Since 3000 Hz is well above the normal frequency of
speech, why does eliminating these high frequencies change the sound of your cousin’s voice? Carefully
provide the reasoning behind your answer.

Three capacitors, all initially without any dielectrics inserted, of C1 = 4 micro-farads, C2 = 10 micro-farads, and C3 = 10 micro-farads, are connected purely in series to a battery and the total stored energy of all three capacitors is 248 micro-joules. Then, the plates of C1 are brought closer by a factor of 3 and a dielectric with a dielectric constant of 1.9 is inserted into C2 while still connected in series to the same battery. (C3 does not change at all.) How much does the total stored energy of all three capacitors increase in micro-joules after the capacitors are changed? Not the factor change... how much does the stored energy go up in value. step by step please and thank you!
