Three pith balls supported by insulating threads hang from a support. We know that ball X is positively charged. When ball X is brought near balls Y and Z without touching them, it attracts Y and repels Z. Since pith is an insulating material, we can conclude that
a. Y has a negative charge. b. Z has a negative charge. c. Y has a positive charge. d. Z has a positive charge. e. Z is neutral (has no net charge.)

In Galileo's thought experiment about rolling balls, Galileo argued that:
a. a ball rolling up the tilted surface speeds up. b. a ball rolling down the tilted surface slows down. c. a ball rolling on a level surface speeds up. d. a ball rolling on a the level surface continues at the same speed. e. a ball rolling on a level surface slows down.
A time-varying horizontal force F(t) = At4 + Bt2 acts for 0.500 s on a 12.25-kg object, starting at time t = 1.00 s. In the SI system, A has the numerical value 4.50 and B has the numerical value 8.75
(a) What are the SI units of A and B? (b) What impulse does this force impart to the object? What will be an ideal response?
