Answer to Problem 1CQ

Physics describes matter and its interactions, all natural sciences are built on a foundation of the law of physics, the principles of many devices can be understood with the knowledge of physics, to acquire skills that are useful in other disciplines, to ask probing questions and to formulate informed opinions on important matters in the society, and to develop a sense of the beauty of the fundamental laws. These are the reason for studying physics.

Explanation of Solution

Physics is the branch of science that describes matter, energy, space, and time at the most fundamental level. The study of physics is relevant for the study of other subject’s biology, chemistry, medicine, etc.

A full understanding of biological process is need the principles of physics and chemistry. A full understanding of chemistry requires a knowledge of physics, since physics describes the matter and its basic interactions.

Many important devices in today’s technological world, mainly in the medical field works in the principles of physics. So studying physics is very important in this case. The study of physics help to improve a student skill. They are supposed to think logically and analytically, solving problems, making simplifying assumptions, etc.

Society resource are limited, so it important to use them in beneficial ways and not squander them on scientifically impossible projects. So by studying physics, they are ready to ask probing questions and formulate good opinion in socially important matters.

Finally we can develop a sense of the beauty of the fundamental laws that describes the universe by the study of physics.

Conclusion:

Thus, Physics describes matter and its basic interactions, all natural sciences are built on a foundation of the law of physics, the principles of many devices can be understood with the knowledge of physics, to acquire skills that are useful in other disciplines, to ask probing questions and to formulate informed opinions on important matters in the society, and to develop a sense of the beauty of the fundamental laws. These are the reason for studying physics.

In a scene from The Avengers (the first one) Black Widow is boosted directly upwards by Captain America, where she then grabs on to a Chitauri speeder that is 15.0 feet above her and hangs on. She is in the air for 1.04 s. A) With what initial velocity was Black Widow launched?  1 m = 3.28 ft B) What was Black Widow’s velocity just before she grabbed the speeder?  Assume upwards is the positive direction.
In Dark Souls 3 you can kill the Ancient Wyvern by dropping on its head from above it.  Let’s say you jump off the ledge with an initial velocity of 3.86 mph and spend 1.72 s in the air before hitting the wyvern’s head.   Assume the gravity is the same as that of Earth and upwards is the positive direction.  Also, 1 mile = 1609 m.  A) How high up is the the ledge you jumped from as measured from the wyvern’s head?  B) What is your velocity when you hit the wyvern?
A) If Yoshi flings himself downwards at 9.76 miles per hour to hit an enemy 10.5 m below him, how fast is Yoshi traveling when he hits the enemy? 1 mile = 1609 m
