1. The Lifetime of the Sun. The total mass of the sun is about 2 x 1030 kg, of which about 75% was hydrogen when the sun formed. However, only about 13% of this hydrogen ever becomes available for fusion in the core. The rest remains in layers of the sun where the temperature is too low for fusion.

       a) Use the given data to calculate the total mass of hydrogen available for fusion over the lifetime of the sun.

       b) The sun fuses about 600 billion kilograms of hydrogen each second. Based on your results from part (a), calculate how long the sun’s initial supply of hydrogen can last (in seconds, and in years); that is, calculate the expected lifetime of the sun.

       c) Given that our solar system is now about 4.6 billion years old, when will we need to worry about the sun running out of hydrogen?

Jack (mass 55.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 44.0 kg), who is initially at rest. After the collision, Jack is traveling at 5.00m/s in a direction 34.0∘ north of east. Ignore friction.

a) What is the direction of the Jill's velocity after the collision? Express your answer in degrees.

b)What is the magnitude of the Jill's velocity after the collision? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow.

(a) Calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent's face, if the glove and face compress 7.00 cm during a blow in which the 8.00 kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s.
N
(b) Calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (Assume the total mass of the arm remains 8.00 kg.)
N
(c) Discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. Does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

In a downhill ski race surprisingly little advantage is gained by getting a running start. This is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy even on small hills. To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 70.0 m along a 25° slope neglecting friction for the following two cases. (Note that this time difference can be very significant in competitive events so it is still worthwhile to get a running start.)

(a) starting from rest

(b) starting with an initial speed of 3.00 m/s

(a) How high a hill can a car coast up (engine disengaged) if friction is negligible and its initial speed is 76.0 km/h?
m
(b) If, in actuality, a 750 kg car with an initial speed of 76.0 km/h is observed to coast up a hill to a height 11.0 m above its starting point, how much thermal energy was generated by friction?
J
(c) What is the average force of friction if the hill has a slope 2.5° above the horizontal? (Explicitly show on paper how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for energy found on pages 159 and 160. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)
N (down the slope)

A number 14 copper wire has a diameter of 1.628 mm. Calculate the resistance of a 34.0 m long piece of such wire.
(Use 1.72×10-8 Ωm for the resistivity of copper.)

2.809×10-1 Ohm
For safety, the National Electrical Code limits the allowable amount of current which such a wire may carry. When used in indoor wiring, the limit is 15.0 A for rubber insulated wire of that size. How much power would be dissipated in the wire of the above problem when carrying the maximum allowable current?

6.321×101 W

What would be the voltage between the ends of the wire in the above problem?

4.214 V

What is the current density in the wire when it is carrying the maximum allowable current? (Current density is the current in the wire divided by the cross sectional area of the wire.)
