True or Flase, preferably explain the reasoning behind the answer
a)The electric field inside the solid metal sphere is never zero
b)If the solid sphere is an insulator (instead of metal) with net charge Q, the charges are wherever they were placed, and cannot move around.
c) If the solid sphere is an insulator (instead of metal) with net charge Q, the electric field for r >> R would be the same as that of a conductor with the same shape and charge.
d)The net charge on the inside of the solid metal sphere is neutral.
e)The electric field for the metal sphere at r << R will be the same as the field of a point charge, Q, at the origin
f)The electric field near the metal surface on the outside is parallel to the surface.

Six similar boxes (A–F) are initially sliding in the positive
direction along a frictionless horizontal surface at a speed of 10
m/s. Then a net horizontal force, also in the positive direction,
is applied to each box for a period of 10 seconds. The masses of
the boxes and the net horizontal force for each case are given
below.
Rank the boxes in order of increasing FINAL momentum. That is, put
first the box with the smallest final momentum, and put last the
box with the largest final momentum.
If B is smallest, then A, C, D, and finally E is largest, enter
BACDE.
Note: if final momenta are equal, then enter those cases in the
order listed.
A) F = 30 N. . . . . . M = 15 kg
B) F = 80 N. . . . . . M = 10 kg
C) F = 70 N. . . . . . M = 15 kg

A placekicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 23.4 m/s at an angle of 48.0° to the horizontal.
(a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing
the crossbar? (Enter a negative answer if it falls short.)

(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while
falling?
rising or falling

When a small object approaches a much more massive object, the smaller object can be tidally disrupted. The distance of the closest approach before being tidally disrupted is the Roche limit (recall lecture on rings of plan- ets). If the small object is a star and the large object is a supermassive black hole, the Roche limit is given by
rR= 2.4 * RS * (pBH/p*)^(1/3)
where RS is the Schwarzschild radius, ρ̄BH is the average density of the black hole and ρ̄∗ is the average density of the star.
a) Setting the average density of the supermassive black hole equal to its mass divided by the volume contained within the Schwarzschild radius, derive an expression for the mass of a black hole as a function of ρ̄∗ that would have rR = RS.
b) If the Sun were to fall into a supermassive black hole, what maximum mass could the black hole have if the Sun would be tidally disrupted before crossing the event horizon (or RS). Compare your answer with typical supermassive black holes in the galactic nuclei.
c) If the mass of the supermassive black hole exceeded the mass found above, what would be the implication in terms of the energy release of the infalling star? Could infalling stars effectively power AGNs in this case?
