ben and justine are sitting opposite each other on a ride that is moving
clockwise at a constant speed. ben tosses a piece of candy to justine.
from her point of view, where will the candy land?
on her left
in her hands
on her right
on her feet

Explanation:

• Momentum: It is the product of mass and velocity ($p = mv$), not just speed and direction.
• Inertia: It is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
• Velocity: It is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction of an object's motion.
• Mass: It is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, not related to speed - direction.

For the second question, when Ben tosses the candy, from Justine's non - inertial (rotating) frame of reference:

• The ride is moving clockwise. When Ben tosses the candy, due to the rotation of the ride (centrifugal force in the non - inertial frame), the candy will seem to be deflected.
• In a clockwise - rotating frame, when an object is thrown across (from Ben to Justine who is opposite), from Justine's perspective, the candy will land on her left. This is similar to the Coriolis effect in a rotating system (although on a much smaller scale).

Answer:

• First question: velocity
• Second question: on her left
