In a volcanic eruption, 2km3 of mountain with a density of 1600 kg=m3 was lifted an average height of 513m.

(a) How much energy in joules was released in this eruption? (b) The energy released by thermonuclear bombs is measured in megatons of TNT, where 1 megaton of TNT = 4.2 * 10 15 J. Convert your answer for (a) to megatons of TNT.

Why do the patterns of the stars in our sky look the same from year to year?

A) because the stars in the constellations are so far away B) because the stars in the constellations are not moving C) because the stars in the constellations all move at the same speeds and in the same directions, so they don't change their relative positions D) because the stars in the constellations typically move so slowly – typically about the speed of a snail – that their motions are not noticeable

You and your friend, who has the same mass as you, want to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Your friend takes the elevator straight up. You decide to walk up the spiral stairway, taking longer to do so

Compare the gravitational potential energy of the system you-Earth and your friend-Earth, after you both reach the top. A) It is impossible to tell, since the times you both took are unknown. B) It is impossible to tell, since the distances you both traveled are unknown. C) The friend-Earth system's gravitational potential energy is greater than the you-Earth system's gravitational potential energy, because he got to the top faster. D) Both systems have the same amount of gravitational potential energy at the top. E) The you-Earth system's gravitational potential energy is greater than the friend-Earth system, because you traveled a greater distance in getting to the top.
