A thin, uniform bar of length L and mass M is suspended horizontally at rest. It is suddenly released and, at the same instant, it is struck a sharp blow vertically upwards at one end – the duration of the impulse is negligibly short. (a) Explain the meaning of the equation Fnet = Macom (com stands for center of mass). If we call z the vertical direction, write an equation for zCOM(t), draw a sketch of zCOM(t) vs t, and...

4. Consider bit strings with length l and weight k (so strings of l 0’s and 1’s, including k 1’s). We know how to count the number of these for a ﬁxed l and k. Now, we will count the number of strings for which the sum of the length and the weight is ﬁxed. For example, let’s count all the bit strings for which l + k = 11. (a) Find examples of these strings of diﬀerent lengths. What...

2) Two charged spheres separated by 2m are suspended vertically from a horizontal beam by insulating strings. The spheres have the same mass 4kg. The charges on the spheres are 2 ?C and -3 ?C. (a) Calculate the electric force between the charges. Give both magnitude and direction. (b) Determine the electric potential (Volts) at a point midway between the charges. (c) What direction are the electric field lines for each charge?

Part A Two identical steel balls, each of mass 2.40 kg, are suspended from strings of length 33.0 cm so that they touch when in their equilibrium position. We pull one of the balls back until its string makes an angle θ = 60.0° with the vertical and let it go. It collides elastically with the other ball. How high will the other ball rise? Part B Suppose that instead of steel balls we use putty balls. They will collide...

Two identical small insulating balls are suspended by separate 0.293 m threads that are attached to a common point on the ceiling. Each ball has a mass of 7.96E-4 kg. Initially the balls are uncharged and hang straight down. They are then given identical positive charges and, as a result, spread apart with an angle of 34.6 ° between the threads. Determine the charge on each ball.
