the cold water and waits until the readings have stabilized. Then, the computer is started
and after 5 seconds, the water is mixed together and both sensors are placed in the
mixture. Make an accurate sketch of what the data would look like in this experiment.

Essay Question:
51. Explain the different ways that an object can be charged, make sure to include each
method and an explanation why there is a transfer/separation of charge.
52. We say that electric fields emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative
charges throughout all space. That being the case, is it possible for a location in space to
be absence of an electric field? If so explain how. If not, explain why.
53. What examples (plural) do we have to confirm the existence of a magnetic field around a
current carrying wire?
54. Compare and contrast a bar magnet with an electromagnetic.
55. Compare and contrast magnetic poles and electric charges.

electricity. Compare and contrast these two phenomena and state the relative importance
of this relationship.

57. The mechanical energy of a falling ball stays the same, even though it is constantly
speeding up. Similarly, if you throw a ball upward, it slows down, even through its
mechanical energy stays the same. Explain the physics of how this happens.
58. Compare and contrast Heat and Temperature.
59. Briefly explain why a typical mercury thermometer works the way it does.
60. When you boil water, the temperature remains the same, even though you continue to
add heat. Explain where this heat energy is going if it doesn’t increase the temperature
of the water.
