3. Solving situation involving concept of inertia. TP 5

a. Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac says that if he flings the Jell-O with a greater speed it will have
a greater inertia. Tosh argues that inertia does not depend upon speed, but rather upon mass. Who do you
agree with? Explain why.

b. Supposing you were in space in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion?

c. Ben Tooclose is being chased through the woods by a bull moose that he was attempting to photograph. The
enormous mass of the bull moose is extremely intimidating. Yet, if Ben makes a zigzag pattern through the
woods, he will be able to use the large mass of the moose to his own advantage. Explain this in terms of
inertia and Newton's first law of motion.
 d. Two bricks are resting on edge of the lab table. Shirley stands on her toes and spots the two bricks. She
acquires an intense desire to know which of the two bricks are most massive. Since Shirley is vertically
challenged, she is unable to reach high enough and lift the bricks; she can however reach high enough to give
the bricks a push. Discuss how the process of pushing the bricks will allow Shirley to determine which of the
two bricks is most massive. What difference will Shirley observe and how can this observation lead to the
necessary conclusion?

a. Miles and Ben are riding in a bus at highway speed on a nice summer day when an unlucky bug splatters onto the
windshield. Miles and Ben begin discussing the physics of the situation. Miles suggests that the momentum change
of the bug is much greater than that of the bus. After all, argues Miles, there was no noticeable change in the speed
of the bus compared to the obvious change in the speed of the bug. Ben disagrees entirely, arguing that that both
bug and bus encounter the same force, momentum change, and impulse. Who do you agree with? Support your
answer.
