1. Define each of the following physical quantities in your own words. Indicate what uits are used to measure each quantity in the SI system. Displacement

When you drop a pebble from height a it reaches the ground with speed v if there is no air resistance. from what height should you drop it so it will reach the ground with three times the speed? (a) 9m (b) 3m (c) 6m (d) 18m

Aboxcar traveling at 12 m/s approaches a string of 5 identical boxcars sitting stationary on the track. the moving boxcar collides and links with the stationary cars and they all move off together along the track. what is the final speed of the cars immediately after the collision? (you may take the mass of each boxcar to be 18,537 kg.)

Agas initially at p1 = 1 bar and occupying a volume of 0.5 liter is compressed within a piston–cylinder assembly to a final pressure p2 = 4 bar. (a) if the relationship between pressure and volume during the compression is pv = constant, determine the volume, in liters, at a pressure of 3 bar. (b) repeat for a linear pressure–volume relationship between the same end states. reference
