Please note: if you want a 100, you should meet the amount of recommended pages and not exceed the maximum, have a plethora of physics terminology, in addition to answering the question competently. Citations are also necessary (just list the links used; APA is not necessary; try to avoid sources like wikipedia, and look for more academic / scholarly sources). Double space, 12pt font, Time New Roman. Used attached document.

2.)True or False:
You and the Earth both accelerate towards each other at 9.8 m/s2 since the forces you and the Earth exert on one another are equal and opposite.
Explain your reasoning.
3.) True or False:
When you push on a wall, it does not move because of the reaction force: the wall pushes back on you and those two forces cancel each other. Explain your reasoning.
4.) A force of 1 N is the only horizontal force exerted on a block, and the horizontal acceleration of the block is measured. When the same horizontal force is the only force exerted on a second block, the horizontal acceleration is three times as large. What can you conclude about the masses of the two blocks? Use physics terminology during your explanation.

Physics Career Exploration Project
(Worth LAB Grade)
When choosing what to study after high school and choosing careers, it is helpful to know what problems you would like to help solve. Knowing the problems that inspire you to work towards solutions can be an effective way of guiding your future path. The United Nations has identified many global issues, listed below.
Your Task: Help yourself and other students connect issues they are passionate about with career and post-secondary pathways.
1) Explore the list of global issues. Choose 3 issues (you may also add issues that you have identified are important to you).
2) Summarize these 3 issues and why they are important to you. Use the google doc titled "Physics Career Summaries" for this section.
3) Research how physicists can help work towards a solution on these 3 issues. Consider what branch(es) of physics would be involved and the types of physics specialists that would help solve these types of problems. Examples of specialists: mechanical engineer, electrician, ophthalmologist, medical physicist, ultrasound technician, post doc researcher, nuclear engineer, etc.
List the branch of physics and the physics specialist for all 3 issues on the google doc titled "Physics Career Summaries"
4) Narrow your focus to the issue you are most interested in working towards a solution for. Select one issue.
5) Create a poster (landscape or portrait / standard paper size of 8.5 x 11 inches) that would inform and inspire a fellow student to work towards solving this issue by providing them
i. Information about the issue (paragraph about the issue and why people should care + at least one relevant image)
ii. Information about the type(s) of physics specialists that can help solve this issue. Summarize in a sentence or two what each type(s) of specialist does, e.g. “Nuclear engineers research how to access the benefits of radioactive materials mainly for use in medical diagnosis, medical treatment, and electricity production. This role involves developing instruments, machinery, and systems.” Include at least one relevant image.
iii. Information on how to become this specialist(s). This includes which program(s) to enroll in, which post-secondary institutions offer this program(s), and which high school courses are required to gain acceptance into this program(s).
An evaluation rubric is attached.
The due date for this assignment is Monday, January 26.
Submit the summary on the attached google document in Google Classroom. Submit a PDF on google classroom of the 8.5 x 11” poster, or submit a hardcopy, so Mr. Ramos can print them to display in the classroom.

You are driving a car, traveling at a constant velocity of 25 m/s along a straight road, when you see a child suddenly run onto the road. It takes 0.45s for you to react and apply the brakes. As a result, the car slows with a steady acceleration of 8.5 m/s^2 in the direction opposite your motion and comes to a stop. What is the total displacement of the car before it stops?
I will provide a hint for this problem in about 10 minutes. I would prefer you get the answer on your own. If you do end up using the hint to solve this problem, please note it in your explanation (I won't take points off). If you are able to figure it out without the hint, note that in your explanation.
Include a detailed explanation. You will have about 25 minutes.

THINK - Think about this problem independently.
WRITE - Construct a well written response on the attached document. Keep your response ~ 1-2 paragraphs, as you will be limited on time (~20 minutes). Do this independently.
DISCUSS - Discuss this problem with the person next to you. Do not discuss until I have said you can.
A car travels straight along a street from a grocery store to a post office. To represent its motion, you use a coordinate system with its origin at a grocery store and the direction the car is moving as the positive direction. Your friend uses a coordinate system with its origin at the post office and the opposite direction as the positive direction (car is still moving in the positive direction). Would you two agree on the car's position (relative to the coordinate system)? Displacement? Distance? The time interval the trip took? Explain.

Part 1: (10-15 Minutes)
After watching the assigned video, write about differences between scalar qualities and vector quantities. Give some examples. How can you display magnitude on a vector quantity? What do vectors always "wear"?
Then, come up with an easy way to remember the difference between vectors and scalars.
You should have about 1 paragraph of detailed explanations / examples. Complete this assignment on the attached google document. Please do not go over 1 paragraph.
Part 2: (10 Minutes)
Fill out the "preconceptions" section of your 1-D Kinematics guided notes packet.
