Consider the following statement, and explain whether or not it is sensible: Last night I saw Jupiter in the constellation Ursa Major
What will be an ideal response?
This statement does not make sense because Jupiter, like all the planets, is always found very close to the ecliptic in the sky. The ecliptic passes through the constellations of the zodiac, so Jupiter can appear to be only in one of the 12 zodiac constellations—and Ursa Major is not one of these.

If we use 67 W of power to heat 148 g of water, how long will it take to raise the temperature of the water from 15°C to 25°C?
The specific heat of water is 4190 J/kg•K. A) 93 s B) 5.3 s C) 22 s D) 114 h
A person with an initial mass of 70 kg climbs a stairway and thereby rises 6.0 m in elevation
By how much does his mass increase by virtue of his increased potential energy? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)
A car originally traveling at 30 m/s manages to brake for 5.0 seconds while traveling 125 m downhill. At that point the brakes fail. After an additional 5.0 seconds it travels an additional 150 m down the hill. What was the acceleration of the car after the brakes failed?
