A truck of mass M and a bike of mass m approach a stop sign on a rainy day. As they approach the stopsign, both vehicles are travelling with speed vo. When their front tires are even with the stopsign, the drivers each engage their brakes as start to skid. Each tire has a coefficient of kinetic friction mu_k with the ground. Given M, m, vo, g, how far does each object slide into the intersection? In your skeptic section, pick reasonable values for M, m, mu_k (you can use g = 9.8 m/s^2) and interpret your answers. Is your answer reasonable?

i) A circular coil with radius 20 cm is placed with it’s plane parallel and between two straight
wires P and Q. The coil carries current Icoil = 0.5A . Icoil is in clockwise direction when viewed
from left side. Wire P is located 40 cm to the left of a circular coil and carries current Ip = 0.2A
while wire Q is located 80 cm to the right of the circular coil and carries current IQ = 0.6A. Both
Ip and IQ are in the same directions into the paper. Determine the resultant of magnetic field at
the centre of a circular coil from the top view.

during a baseball game, a batter hits a foul ball down the left field foul line. while being hit 0.762 m above the ground, the ball was given a velocity of 33.53 m/s at an angle of 55 degrees above the ground. 5 seconds after being hit, the ball was seen clearing a 11.28 m high wall in left field.

a) what is the horizontal distance from home plate to the left wall?

b) what is the vertical distance of the ball above the ground as it travels over the wall?

Please show me how to do this, I'm having a rough time figuring it out.

3. A positive point charge q = +3 µC is placed on the y axis at y = +5 cm. A negative point charge -q = -3 µC is placed at the origin.

a) At how many points on the y axis could an additional positive charge +q be placed without changing the potential energy of the system?

b) Calculate the work done by the field to bring in an additional point charge +q from infinity to the point A. (The other two charges are held in position during this procedure.

c) What is the potential energy U of the square arrangement of charges at right?

An iron boiler of mass 180 kg contains 730 kg of water at 11 ∘C. A heater supplies energy at the rate of 58,000 kJ/h. The specific heat of iron is 450 J/kg⋅C∘, the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg⋅C∘, the heat of vaporization of water is 2260 kJ/kg⋅C∘. Assume that before the water reaches the boiling point, all the heat energy goes into raising the temperature of the iron or the steam, and none goes to the vaporization of water. After the water starts to boil, all the heat energy goes into boiling the water, and none goes to raising the temperature of the iron or the steam.

How long does it take for the water to reach the boiling point from 11 ∘C∘C?

How long does it take for the water to all have changed to steam from 11 ∘C∘C?

A continuously operating coherent Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) system is made by an engineer. He claims that it is having an average error probability of 10-5. The system produced 1000 errors in a day when tested with a data rate of 500 bits/s and the single-sided noise power spectral density is     No=10-10 W/Hz. He also claim that the system is capable of maintaining the error rate even if the received power is as low as 10-6 W. Do you agree with his claims? Give justifications to your answer.

please, I need a clear answer.
