Brain-burners

This is the list of the toughest brain-burners on the final exam, in no particular order.
  1. "Which way will the compass needle point?" ←was the toughest of all.
  2. Two balloons attracting each other: might be oppositely charged; might be one charged, one uncharged.
  3. Baseball trajectories and hang time
  4. "Suzy vs. Harry" with friction
  5. "Sliding coin" -- stopping time, stopping distance
  6. "loop-the-loop"
These questions were real bearcats to think out and answer correctly.

I will be posting scores in a few minutes.
