A stiff wire 44.5 cm long is bent at a right angle in the middle. One section lies along the z axis and the other is along the line y=2x in the xy plane. A current of 24.0 A flows in the wire-down the z axis and out the line in the xy plane. The wire passes through a uniform magnetic field given by B =(0.318i)T.
A) Determine the magnitude and direction of the total force on the wire. (The direction must be theta below the negative y-axis).

You and your crew must dock your 2.55 × 104 kg
spaceship at Spaceport Alpha, which is orbiting Mars. In the
process, Alpha’s control tower has requested that you ram another
vessel, a freight ship of mass 1.60 × 104 kg, latch onto
it, and use your combined momentum to bring it into dock. The
freight ship is not moving with respect to the colossal Spaceport
Alpha, which has a mass of 1.80 × 107 kg. Alpha’s
automated system that guides incoming spacecraft into dock requires
that the incoming speed is less than 2.0 m/s.
(a) Assuming a perfectly linear alignment of your
ship’s velocity vector with the freight ship (which is stationary
with respect to Alpha) and Alpha’s docking port, what must be your
ship’s speed (before colliding with the freight ship) in order that
the combination of the freight ship and your ship arrive at Alpha’s
docking port with a speed of 1.40 m/s?
(b) What will be the velocity of Spaceport Alpha
when the combination of your vessel and the freight ship
successfully docks with it?
(c) Suppose you made a mistake while maneuvering
your vessel in an attempt to ram the freight ship and, rather than
latching on to it and making a perfectly inelastic collision, you
strike it and knock it in the direction of the spaceport with a
perfectly elastic collision. What is the speed of freight ship in
that case (assuming your ship had the same initial velocity as you
had calculated in part (a))?

Q: Do resonance positions get harder to find lower down in the tube?
Note: this is a questions based on a physics lab revolved around the idea of sound waves and the measurement of the velocity of sound in an air at room temperature and understanding the meaning of longitudinal or compressional waves. A synopsis of the lab: basically we used a long glass tube filled with water and attached to the apparatus was a reservoir in which as we brought lower to the ground water would fill it and the water in the tube would decrease, a sound of a certain frequency using a speaker would be continuously playing directly down the tube from the mouth and we had to tick off 5 times the depth in when we would hear the sound frequency change as the water level was lowered.
Thanks for helping!

A square insulating sheet 90.0 cm on a side is held horizontally. The sheet has 8.50 nC of charge spread uniformly over its area.
1.Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point 0.100 mm above the center of the sheet.
2.Estimate the magnitude of the electric field at a point located a distance 200 m above the center of the sheet.
E = 5.46×10−5 N/C
E = 2.39×10−4 N/C
E = 1.91×10−3 N/C
E = 2.68×10−2 N/
3. Would the answers to parts A and B be different if the sheet were made of a conducting material? Select the correct answer and explanation.
The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both
faces, giving it half the charge density on either face as the
insulator and the same electric field only close to the sheet. The
answer to part A would not change, but the answer to part B would
change.
The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both faces,
giving it half the charge density on either face as the insulator
and changing the sign of the electric field. Both answers would
change.

Consider the head-on collision between a water molecule, mass
18u and a nitrogen molecule mass 28u. Prior to the collision, the
nitrogen moving to the right at +0.4390 km/s and the water molecule
is moving to the left at -0.7570 km/s. Immediately after the
collision, the velocity of the water molecule is v = 0.6990 km/s. A
positive sign indicates a molecule moving to the right and a
negative sign indicates a molecule moving to the left. The atomic
mass unit (u) is commonly used to indicate the mass of atoms and
molecules: 1u=1.66×10-27kg.
What is the velocity of the nitrogen molecule immediately after the
collision? (in m/s)
A: -0.3976 | B: -0.4970 | C: -0.6212 | D: -0.7766 | E: -0.9707 | F: -1.2134 | G: -1.5167 | H: -1.8959 |
