Use the following information for items 100-105.
Jack is using several different strategies to help him improve his understanding of physics. First, he reviews topics that have already been covered in class. Next, he creates concept maps based on his notes, and he uses mnemonics to remember key terms. Then, he makes up examples from his own personal experiences to help him better understand the important concepts, and, when he can, he visualizes some of the ideas, such as balls being thrown from one person to another, and objects being pushed across surfaces. Finally, he solves several practice problems, and then checks the answers at the back of the book so see if his solutions are correct.
