A murder victim is found slumped over his desk in his office. The bullet that killed him is found lodged in his chair. Investigators find footprints in the carpet and gather traces of silica used to make concrete from the footprints. Their prime suspect is a construction supervisor who recently had an argument with the victim. The suspect's construction firm regularly uses a brand of concrete with high concentrations of silica. On the victim's desk is a threatening letter from the suspect regarding a disagreement between them. The suspect's fingerprints are found on the letter. Which of these pieces of evidence is showing a class characteristic? A. The fingerprints on the letter belonging to the suspect
B. The silica in the carpet being like the concrete that the suspect's company uses
C. The victim being killed with his own gun
D. The suspect being angry enough with the victim to threaten him

In addition to gravity, what is the other predominant force that affects the motion of a pendulum?

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i.e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
