Because the rotational inertia is higher, it is hardest in springboard diving to perform a forward somersault in
A. the tuck position (bending at both the waist and knees). B. the pike position (bending at the waist but not the knees). C. the straight position (no bending at knees or waist).
A mass attached to a very light spring executes simple harmonic motion. If you want to double its total energy, you should
A) double the amplitude of vibration while changing nothing else. B) double the force constant of the spring while changing nothing else. C) double both the amplitude and force constant. D) double the mass while changing nothing else. E) double both the mass and amplitude of vibration.
In massive stars, three helium nuclei fuse together, forming a carbon nucleus, and this reaction heats the core of the star. The net mass of the three helium nuclei must therefore be
A) higher than that of the carbon nucleus. B) less than that of the carbon nucleus. C) the same as that of the carbon nucleus because mass is always conserved. D) the same as that of the carbon nucleus because energy is always conserved.
