A pair of bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide elastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear, as seen in part (a) of the figure below. ((a) before collision, (b) after collision) One has a mass of m1 = 462 kg and the other m2 = 546 kg, owing to differences in passenger mass. If the lighter one approaches at v1 = 4.48 m/s and the other is moving at v2 = 3.63 m/s, calculate the velocity of the lighter car after the collision.

A major league pitcher stands on the pitching mound 60ft 6in from home plate throws a fastball at 105 mph. Assume both the batter and pitcher are the same height (6ft 6in) and the ball is released 55 inches above the ground when thrown horizontal.

a. How far will a 340 gram baseball travel before hitting the ground?

b. How high is the ball above the ground when it passes over home plate?

c. How long does it take to reach home plate?

Now let’s look at what happens when the ball is hit, using the setup from the last problem. When hit the ball’s speed is an average of 30% faster and leaves the bat at a 5 degree angle.

(a) How high is the ball when it passes the pitching mound?

(b) How far will the ball travel?

At a certain location, electromagnetic wave 1 is measured to have an average electric field of Eav = 152 N/C, and electromagnetic wave 2 is measured to have an average magnetic field of Bav = 0.87 µT.

a. (5 points) Calculate the average intensity of each wave.

b. (5 points) If the electromagnetic waves are being measured 0.54 m from their light sources (assume that they are emitting light uniformly in all directions), what average power is each source emitting? By how many 60 W incandescent light bulbs would each light source need to be replaced to emit the same average power?

c. (5 points) Suppose an average human sun bathes in the light from wave 2 for 45 minutes. If we assume that this person exposes 0.45 m 2 of their skin to this light and that none of the light is reflected by the skin, how much energy is absorbed into their skin? If you could somehow utilize this energy to lift a 70. kg person on the surface of the Earth, how high could the person be lifted?

d. (5 points) Assume that both light waves are initially unpolarized. We decide to send the higher intensity light wave through a polarizer-analyzer combination so that its final intensity matches that of the lower (unpolarized) intensity light wave. If the transmission axis of the first polarizer is horizontal, how must the transmission axis of the analyzer be oriented so that the light intensities match? Express your angle as measured from the vertical axis

Jae throws an object with a certain velocity and a certain angle with respect to the horizontal direction. Calculate the angle at which the horizontal displacement of the object is going to be maximum, ignoring air resistance. Calculate the angle at which the horizontal displacement of the object is going to be half of the maximum. You may need to think about using the velocity equation first, estimate the time it takes to get to the highest position in terms of variables, write the position equations in terms of what you got from the velocity equation.
