The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.
| C | I | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The information on a one-gallon paint can is that the coverage, when properly applied, is 450 ft2. One gallon is 231 in3. What is the average thickness of the paint in such an application? | 0.0036 in | |
| 1 | Doubling the radius of a sphere results in increasing its volume by a factor of | 8 | |
| 1 | A physics class in a large lecture hall has 150 students. The total mass of the students is about ____ kg. | 10^4 | |
| 1 | The length and width of a standard sheet of paper is measured, and then the area is found by calculation to be 93.50 in2. The number of significant figures in the width measurement must be at least: | 4 | |
| 1 | Water flows into a swimming pool at the rate of 8.0 gal/min. The pool is 16 ft wide, 32 ft long and 8.0 ft deep. How long does it take to fill? (1 U.S. gallon = 231 cubic inches) | 64 hours | |
| 1 | When was the existence of the neutron confirmed? | 1932 | |
