An electron undergoes an oscillatory circular motion in the xy
plane, dictated by a uniform constant magnetic field
B applied in the z direction, and by a circularly
polarized electromagnetic wave that propagates in the z direction.
The electric field of the wave is given by E =
Eo[cos(kz - wt)x - sin(kz -
wt)y]. Note that at z=0, where the electron moves,
this electric field is E =
Eo[cos(wt)x +
sin(wt)y].
(a) This part of the problem is classical...
1.1 While a car travels around a circular track at a constant
speed its, which of the following is true?
A) it has non-zero acceleration
B) it has zero acceleration
C) it has zero velocity, because the speed is constant
D) It has zero inertia
1.2. How many of the following statements are impossible?
(a) An object that has zero velocity and a non-zero
acceleration.
(b) An object that travels with a constant velocity and
a varying acceleration.
(c) An...
1) Imagine an object moving horizontally with uniform (that is,
constant) velocity. Sketch the position time and velocity-time
graphs for this motion.
2) Imagine tossing an object straight up into the air, then
catching it. Sketch the position-time and velocity-time graphs for
this motion, from the moment it leaves your hand to the moment just
before it lands in your hand.
3) Imagine tossing a ball slightly upwards and towards another
person. Consider the motion from the moment the ball...
5. For an object moving in uniform circular motion, does the
centripetal force do work on the object?
A.
No, because the force is always perpendicular to the object's
displacement.
B.
No, because the displacement of the object is zero.
C.
Yes, because the object is moving.
D.
Yes, because work is force times distance and the object is
moving from the force.
6. How can two collisions have the same change in momentum even
though one collision took longer...
A metal loop is being pushed at a constant velocity into a
uniform magnetic field, as shown in the figure, but is only partway
into the field.
As a result of this motion:
a) End a of the resistor R is at a higher potential than end
b.
b) End b of the resistor R is at a higher potential than end
a.
c) Ends a and b are at the same potential.
Which of the following provides an example of one-dimensional
motion in which average speed is not equal to the magnitude of
average velocity?
a. A boy rides a bicycle along a straight path from his house to
the market.
b. A pitcher throws a baseball along a perfectly straight
line.
c. A man throws a ball vertically upwards and catches it when it
falls back.
d. A girl walks 80m north, halts for a while, and walks 100m
further north...
In your own words explain why the force and acceleration vectors
in Uniform Circular Motion point inward. Also discuss the
differences between Centripetal Force and Centrifugal
Force.
