Rules:

-Collaboration between team members is encouraged,

-The authors should present the solution on a blank sheet with their names on it. Members of a team should submit together.

-Solutions should include “self-explained” diagrams/sketches, with minimal wording. Neat presentation will count toward the problem grading.

1.- Discuss an application of conservation of energy that has not been explained in class or in the textbook during the chapter or through a homework problem.

2.- Explain tidal waves, what make them, why they are so in different phases of the moon.

3.- Describe two elastic collisions and two inelastic collisions that happen in real life. In each inelastic collision explain where did the lost energy went, in each elastic collision explain what energy is conserved.
