  D) none of the above

Question 2

What, if any, evidence did Galileo have for the law of inertia?
 
  A) A smooth ball slows down when rolling uphill, and speeds up when rolling downhill, so it should maintain an unchanging speed on a level surface.
  B) Using a telescope, he observed meteors and comets moving at unchanging velocity through outer space.
  C) Noting that the length of the year does not change, he concluded that Earth must maintain an unchanging speed when moving around the sun.
  D) All of the above.
  E) He didn't have direct evidence, but proposed the law of inertia only because of the known failures of Aristotelian physics.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
