A spring-loaded dart gun is used to shoot a dart straight up into the air, and the dart reaches a maximum height of 24 meters above its point of release
The same dart is shot up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far (compared to the first shot). How far up does the dart go this time? (Neglect friction and assume the spring is ideal and massless.) A) 6.0 m B) 12 m C) 3.0 m D) 48 m
A common belief is that everything that happens is predetermined by the predetermined mechanical motions of atoms, much as a clock operates. A good argument against this position is
A) Newtonian physics, on which this idea is based, cannot be conclusively proven to be true. B) many great scientists, such as Democritus, Kepler, and Newton, dispute this belief. C) science is not really relevant to our lives anyway. D) All of the above are good answers. E) Actually, there isn't any good answer to this position.
