In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 75.0 m along a 25

Calculate the mass of the sun from the radius of the earth's orbit (1.50×10¹¹ m), the earth's period in its orbit, and the gravitational constant G.

What is the density of the sun ? (The sun's radius is 6.96×10⁸ m). Notice how it compares with the density of the earth.

An isolated charged conducting sphere has a radius R = 14.0 cm. At a distance of r = 24.0 cm from the center of the sphere the electric field due to the sphere has a magnitude of E = 4.90 ✕ 104 N/C.

A larger sphere of radius 30.0 cm is now added so as to be concentric with the first sphere. What is the capacitance (in pF) of the two-sphere system? pF

1)suppose we start with an electron with zero initial velocity. Let ϝ be

the typical time it would take for our electron to hit an atom. We can use this as

an average time between collisions as the electron makes its way through the

material. What is the typical velocity of the electron when it hits an atom?

2) It turns out that the velocity you just calculated is not a bad estimate of the drift

velocity, vd. Now, as we saw, there is another way to write vd, namely

J = (❝ne)vd for electrons (remember J = i / A for uniform current density), where

n is the number of charge carriers (electrons) per unit volume. Solve this for |vd|

and equate with what you got in (1).

3)In the above, you should have a J on one side and an E on the other. Now J and E
are in another important equation from today. Given that, can you find an
expression for the resistivity of the material, ??

4)Also, we just saw in lecture that R = (L/A)?, where L is the length of the wire and
A is its cross-sectional area. So, what

The women’s record for fastest serve is by Sabine Lisicki with 131 mph which is approximately 58.56 m/s.  Suppose she hit the ball at a height of 2.6 meters above the court at an angle of 8 degrees below the horizontal.

a.  How high will the ball be when it reaches the net which is 11.89 meters away from the baseline?  Assume she hit the ball right above the baseline.  Does it hit the net or cross over it if the net height is 0.91 meters at the center?

b.  If she served the exact same way, but now with no net in front of her, how far from where she hit the ball would it land on the court?

c.  How fast is the ball going right before it hits the court?  Give the ball’s horizontal, vertical, and resultant velocity.  With the resultant, make sure to give both its size and direction (angle and reference)

A meterstick (L = 1 m) has a mass of m = 0.19 kg. Initially it hangs from two short strings: one at the 25 cm mark and one at the 75 cm mark.
