A point charge +q is at the origin. A spherical Gaussian surface centered at the origin encloses +q. So does a cubical surface centered at the origin and with edges parallel to the axes. Select "True" or "False" for each statement below.

1. Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both surfaces is changed.

2.If the radius of the spherical Gaussian Surface is varied, the flux through it also varies.

3. The area vector and the E-Field vector point in the same direction for all points on the spherical surface.

4. The E-Field at all points on the spherical surface is equal due to spherical symmetry.

5. The Electric Flux through the spherical surface is less than that through the cubical surface.

Two astronauts, Hans and Dexter, are on a spacewalk floating at rest next to their space vehicle. They argue and Hans shoots Dexter with a handgun. The bullet has a mass of 0.015 kg and a muzzle velocity of 250 m/s. Hans now finds himself drifting away from the spacecraft

a.) Hans and his spacesuit have a mass of 200 kg. how fast is he drifting away

b.) Hans only had one bullet, but he is holding a gun that has a mass of 1.1 kg. how fast must he throw it to stop drifting away from the spacecraft?

c.) Meanwhile, on earth, a solid cylinder of mass 5kg rolls without slipping toward a hill with a velocity of 5 m/s. how high up the hill will the cylinder roll?

The uncertainty principle arises from a common-sense idea: To measure something, you must affect it somehow. For instance, when you use a pressure gauge to measure air pressure in a car tire you release a small amount of air into the gauge.

  • Why does shining very short wavelength photons on an electron not tell you exactly where the electron is?
  • Describe two other examples of situations in which measuring something about an object somehow changes it.

In this example we will apply the equations for constant angular acceleration to the simple case of a rotating bicycle wheel. The angular velocity of the rear wheel of a stationary exercise bike is ω0=4.00rad/s at time t=0, and its angular acceleration is constant and equal to α=2.45rad/s2. A particular spoke coincides with the +x axis at time t=0 (Figure 1). What angle does this spoke make with the +x axis at time t=3.00s? What is the wheel's angular velocity at this time? part A: How much longer will it take before the reference spoke is once again aligned with the +x axis? Part B: What will the angular speed of the wheel be at this time?

A 64.7-kg skateboarder starts out with a speed of 2.44 m/s. He does 119 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against the ground. In addition, friction does -257 J of work on him. In both cases, the forces doing the work are non-conservative. The final speed of the skateboarder is 7.88 m/s. (a) Calculate the change (PEf - PE0) in the gravitational potential energy. (b) How much has the vertical height of the skater changed? Give the absolute value.

Coulumb's law for the magnitude of the force F between two particles with charges Q and Q' separated by a distance d is

F=K * qq'/d^2    where K= 1/4pie e0 and e0= 8.854*10^-12/ (N*m^2) is the permittivity of free space.

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge,

q1 = -16.0nC , is located atx1 = -1.700m ; the second charge, q2 = 38.5nC ,is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 53.0nC placed between q1 and q2 atx3 = -1.115m ?

Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.
