Higgs Boson on CNN

This is a great video explaining the Higgs Boson, why it's important, and what is happening at the LHC.

Projectile Motion and Falling Objects

Projectile Motion

I am interested in the Coyote and Roadrunner segment and the falling car clip. Don't focus on the math instruction at the end of the video.

Answers to Practice Test Questions

1. Chemical Potential Energy

2. Gravitational Potential Energy

3. Kinetic Energy

4. 10 N, Up

5. It was losing potential energy as it gained kinetic energy.

6. Something accelerates when it gets faster, goes slower, or changes direction. So the gas pedal, the brake pedal and the steering wheel are accelerators.

7. The gravitational potential energy at the start of the pendulum is the maximum energy in the pendulum. It can't gain energy unless you add more energy somewhere. So the pendulum will never go higher than where it starts.

8. Manipulated variable = type of ball.

Controlled variable = height of the drop

It is a controlled experiment because all of the variables are constant but the one thing you are testing which is the type of ball.

9. The object will sink.

10. The object will float. Archimedes' Principle

11. 3.5 g/mL It will sink because the density is greater than 1.0 g/mL

12. 1.3 km/min

13. Volume

14. Mass and gravity

15. If its distance changes relative to a fixed point of reference.

16. A is moving faster and B is moving slower but they are both moving at a constant speed (straight line on the graph).

Which train is moving? It's difficult to tell until the end of the video.
