You walk into a room and notice that there someone is running an experiment involving a spring-mass system. You have no idea when the experiment started, but observe that the mass attached to the spring is oscillating with period 3 (seconds) and that the amplitude of the oscillations remain constant (to your naked eye) while you are in the room. What are two differential equations which model the motion of the mass? One system must be inhomogeneous and the other must be homogeneous. Do not worry about the initial conditions.

Type into Google: "globalfoundries sand to silicon", and a Youtube video will come up (accessed on 3/17/2020). The address is:

youtube.com/watch?v=UvluuAIiA50

Watch more than once if needed.

The video will go over various parts of the process steps in making a silicon computer chip integrated circuit (IC). On this page (and on the back if needed):

1. List (in order) the major steps in the fabrication process described in the video set. I do not expect you to have a detailed description of each step – just write down the "highlights".

2. Explain why the ICs are fabricated in the "clean rooms" depicted in the video.

3. A representation of the silicon crystal is used in some of the animations in the video. Explain what is wrong with the representation.

If it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can escape the Earth’s gravitation.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2, and the Boltzmanns’ constant is 1.38066 × 10−23 J/K.

minimum kinetic energy needed to escape in terms of the mass of the molecule m, the free-fall acceleration at the surface g, and the radius of the Earth R.

1. Kmin = 1 m g R 3

2. Kmin = 1mgR 2

  

3. Kmin = 2 m g R 1

4. Kmin = √2 m g R 5. Kmin = m g R

1) A cart with mass m1 = 3.2 kg and initial velocity of v1,i = 2.1 m/s collides with another cart of mass M2 = 4.3 kg which is initially at rest in the lab frame. The collision is completely elastic, and the wheels on the carts can be treated as massless and frictionless. What is the velocity of m1 in the center of mass frame after the collision?

2) A block of mass M1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. It collides with block of mass M2 = 1.7 kg which is initially stationary. The blocks stick together and encounter a rough surface. The blocks eventually come to a stop after traveling a distance d = 1.85 m . What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the rough surface?

A m1 = 1.00-kg aluminum block and a m2 = 6.10-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle θ = 34.5°) as shown in the figure. (For aluminum on steel, μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.47. For copper on steel, μs = 0.53 and μk = 0.36.) (a) the acceleration of the two blocks and (b) the tension in the string
