5. a)Which component offers a measureable resistance to the circuit: Resistor or Capacitor?

b) Let's say you measure t1/2 to be 0.3018 seconds and the resistance in the circuit is 68 Ohms. Then what is the capacitance in micro Farads?
answer in micro Farads.

c) t1/2 means that the voltage (or charge) of the system will increase to half more of what is left in a time equal to t1/2 seconds.
Therefore if a system is already at half charge (t1/2 seconds after starting) then after t1/2 more seconds the system will be charged to 50% plus half of 50%. That is 25% more, or 75% of the entire charge. Let's say that four t1/2's have gone by. That means that the charge (or voltage) is at (50% + 1/2*50% + 1/2*1/2*50% + 1/2*1/2*1/2*50%) = 93.75% of maximum charge.
Yikes! Now look in your manual for a more simple mathematical derivation of this concept.

Given t1/2 to be 0.9653 seconds, how long should it take to reach 75% of maximum charge?
answer in seconds.

2. On average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0%and the trunk and legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally.

Suppose a 68.0 kg skater is 1.50 m tall, has arms that are each 64.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be modeled as being 32.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 72.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will her angular velocity ?2 be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk? Assume that friction between the skater and the ice is negligble.

3. A child's top is held in place upright on a frictionless surface. The axle has a radius of ?=2.96 mm Two strings are wrapped around the axle, and the top is set spinning by applying ?=3.40 N of constant tension to each string. If it takes 0.440 s for the string to unwind, how much angular momentum does the top acquire? Assume that the strings do not slip as the tension is applied.

angular momentum:__________kg⋅m2s

Point P is located on the outer surface of the top, a distance ℎ=31.0 mm above the ground. The angle that the outer surface of the top makes with the rotation axis of the top is ?=27.0 . If the final tangential speed ?t of point P is 1.85 m/s , what is the top's moment of inertia?

moment of inertia: ______________kg⋅m2

It has been claimed that an insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) is the best jumper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at 4,000 m/s2 over a distance of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially designed "jumping legs." Assuming a uniform acceleration, answer the following.

(a) What is the velocity of the insect after it has accelerated through this short distance? (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.) m/s

(b) How long did it take to reach that velocity? ms

(c) How high would the insect jump if air resistance could be ignored? Note that the actual height obtained is about 0.7 m, so air resistance is important here. m

The development of the internal-combustion engine caused fundamental changes in urban land-use patterns. The transformation from the core-dominated city to the modern suburbanized city took only about 50 years. Given the rapid pace of technological change, it seems likely that some future innovation will cause another transformation of cities. Given your knowledge of science fiction and fact, describe an innovation that would cause fundamental changes in the spatial structure of cities

Suppose you’re eating in yet another restaurant where the dishes are shared at the table and all placed uniformly on a rotating disk-like surface. Model this surface as a thin disk of radius 45.3 cm. Someone else has spun the surface, such that it is initially at an angular speed of 0.4 rev/s. The surface and food has a combined mass of 3.3 kg. The waiter, to show off, throws a new dish of dumplings (mass 0.8 kg) onto the surface at a speed of 0.5 m/s, such that the dish lands on and sticks to the very edge of the surface moving in the same direction as the rotating food. While this is happening, you quickly calculate the final angular speed of the food so that you can predict its location at any time before others have a chance to eat the dumplings. What is this speed, in rad/s?

a. Consider a laser radar emitting a Gaussian beam of diameter 20 cm with a wavelength of 2.1 μm. At distances of 50, 500, 5000, and 50,000 meters, what is the focused beam diameter, and what is the depth of field? Remember the depth of field is twice the Rayleigh range of the waist diameter. Remember that in some cases the solution may be impossible. Also re- member that there may be two solutions, and it makes sense to pick the one with the smaller beam diameter.

b. In view of your answers, comment on the feasibility of using a focusing to select a range with this laser radar.
