QUESTION 9

Tony Hawk is skating through a half-pipe with a radius of 4 m. Initially he is in a crouched position with his center of mass 0.5 m above the surface of the half-pipe. He starts from rest with his center of mass a height of 3 m above the base of the half-pipe and experiences no loss of energy from friction as he moves. At the bottom of the half-pipe he stands up and lifts his arms into the air, thereby raising his center of mass to 1.0 m. He then continues up the other side of the half-pipe. What is the maximum height (in m) that his center of mass reaches on the other side of the half-pipe? You may model Tony as a point particle.

A circular loop of radius 1.79 m is mounted on top of a truck. Initially the truck is at rest oriented so that a vector normal to the loop points north. At this location, the Earth’s magnetic field has a magnitude of 49.6 μT and a direction of due north, 63° below the horizontal. Over the course of 9.0 seconds, the truck accelerates north, so that at the end of the time interval, the truck is moving at 14.0 m/s...

Consider the following two half-cells. One half-cell (half-cell A) initially has 1.0 M each of 3PG and GAP; the other half-cell (half-cell B) initially has 1 M each of NAD+ and NADH. What is the value of ΔG°’ (in kcal/mol to the nearest tenths) when the two half-cells are connected by a salt bridge. To answer this question, you will need the standard reduction potential of NAD+ (which is given in your text), and you will need the standard reduction...

An underground tank is a hemisphere with radius 4 feet (i.e. it is half a sphere, and so horizontal cross-sections are circles of varying radius). It is filled to the top with oil weighing 45 lb per cubic foot. The top of the tank is at ground level, and the oil in the tank is pumped to a height of 10 feet above ground level. How much work is done? Set up the integral, but then just use your calculator...
