If 250 g of water is heated by 6 K during the experiment and the water-mass equivalent of the coil is 2.5 g, how many calories of energy has the water (and coil) absorbed? The specific heat capacity (using the archaic units of calories) is: 1 cal/(g K).

a box of mass m = 66.0 kg (initially at rest) is pushed a distance d = 54.0 m across a rough warehouse floor by an applied force of FA = 218 N directed at an angle of 30.0° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box is 0.100. Determine the following. (For parts (a) through (d), give your answer to the nearest multiple of 10.) * I already solved parts b and c so I didn't include them.

a)work done by the applied force WA =

d)work done by the force of friction Wf =

e) Calculate the net work on the box by finding the sum of all the works done by each individual force. WNet = J

f)Now find the net work by first finding the net force on the box, then finding the work done by this net force. WNet = J

A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 21.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.37 m/s2 for a distance of 50.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 30.0 m above the ocean.

(a) Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean.
m

(b) Find the length of time the car is in the air.

The drawing shows an exaggerated view of a rifle that has been ‘sighted in' for a 91.4-meter target. If the muzzle speed of the bullet is v0 = 475 m/s, there are the two possible angles θ1 and θ2 between the rifle barrel and the horizontal such that the bullet will hit the target. One of these angles is so large that it is never used in target shooting. Give your answers as (a) the smaller angle and (b) the larger angle. (Hint: The following trigonometric identity may be useful: 2 sinθ cosθ = sin 2θ.)

I have been able to get to sin2θ = (9.8m/s^2) (91.4m) / (475 m/s)^2 but i am not sure what to do from here and keep getting the answer wrong.

Multichannel detectors like diode arrays and CCDs provide a signal to noise ratio (SNR) advantage by the ability to measure many wavelengths simultaneously—a multiplex advantage. Consider the SNR for a photomultiplier tube (PMT), a diode array (DA), and a CCD. Assume the readout noise (RN) associated with these devices is 0 photoelectrons (pe-) for the PMT, 1000 pe- for the DA and 10 pe­ for the CCD. The readout noise is a constant number that does not change with exposure time, and it adds to other types of noise in the measurement. Assume the only other source of noise in these detectors is shot noise from the signal we are measuring.

When we consider both shot and readout noise, the SNR for a signal S(pe) is given by,

SNR = S/(sqrt[S + (RN)2]).

Assume we want to measure a luminescence signal using a spectrometer that collects a signal of 105 pe-/s at the detector at every wavelength (e.g., ignore quantum efficiency differences in the detectors, which by the way are in reality very large).

  1. What is the signal to noise ratio for a PMT measurement of this luminescence, at a single wavelength, for a 1 second exposure? For a 100 s exposure?
  2. How long will it take to measure 1024 wavelengths using the PMT, to give a SNR of 300 at each wavelength?
  3. For a 1024-pixel diode array and a 1024x1024 pixel CCD, what total exposure time would be needed to give a SNR of 300 at each wavelength? Note: the readout noise is different for these detectors.
  4. Unlike the diode array, the CCD also has pixels in the vertical direction. This gives an additional SNR advantage for the CCD detector. Explain why this is?
