Newton said that objects continue moving if no forces are acting on them, but his predecessor Aristotle said that a force was necessary to keep an object moving. Why does Aristotle’s theory seem more plausible, even though we now believe it to be wrong? What insight was Aristotle missing about the reason why things seem to slow down naturally? Give an example

The picture tube in an old black-and-white television uses magnetic deflection coils rather than electric deflection plates. Suppose an electron beam is accelerated through a 54.0-kV potential difference and then through a region of uniform magnetic field 1.00 cm wide. The screen is located 10.2 cm from the center of the coils and is 48.6 cm wide. When the field is turned off, the electron beam hits the center of the screen. Ignoring relativistic corrections, what field magnitude is necessary to deflect the beam to the side of the screen?

An electron with a speed of 1.3 ×106m/s collides with an atom of element X. Shortly afterward, the atom emits a 1240 nm photon. What was the electron's speed after the collision? Assume that, because the atom is so much more massive than the electron, the recoil of the atom is negligible. Hint: The energy of the photon is not the energy transferred to the atom in the collision.

Question 2: (2pts) Prediction of Gravitational, Kinetic and Total energy for a bouncing ball. Based on your predictions of position and velocity vs time, explain how the energy changes during the motion of the ball. (a) Where on your position vs. time graph is the Gravitational Potential Energy at a maximum during each bounce? Where is it a minimum? What is the velocity when the gravitational potential energy is maximum? What about when the gravitational potential energy is minimum? Explain your reasoning below. (b) Where on your velocity vs time graph is the Kinetic Energy at a maximum? Where is it a minimum? What is the vertical position of the ball when the kinetic energy is a maximum? What is the vertical position when the kinetic energy is a minimum? Explain your reasoning below.

2.0 kg of solid gold (Au) at an initial temperature of 1000 K is allowed to exchange heat with 1.5 kg of liquid gold at an initial temperature at 1336 K. The solid and liquid can only exchange heat with each other. When the two reach thermal equilibrium will the mixture be entirely solid, or will they be in a mixed solid/liquid phase? Explain how you know

A mass spectrometer is used to examine the isotopes of uranium. Ions in the beam emerge from the velocity selector at a speed of 3.08 ✕ 105 m/s and enter a uniform magnetic field of 0.590 T directed perpendicularly to the velocity of the ions. What is the distance between the impact points formed on the photographic plate by singly charged ions of 235U and 238U?

This is one problem. To clarify its one problem that has 2 different questions. My teacher just broke it up with each problem having different numbers to make it more annoying than the problem already is. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. (it's asking for the time taken because the units are meters/second
