Three quantities are given: A = 5.0 m3/kg·s 2 , B = 2.0 m/s, and C = 8.0 kg·m2/s. Using dimensional analysis determine the simplest algebraic combination of these three quantities that has the dimensions of length and compute its value in meters (Answer: 2.2 m

Can somebody explain/prove why Kinetic Energy is not conserved in an inelastic collsion?

Explain the basic physical reason why we encode electronic information in only 2 bits (e.g. binary).

A light shines from the bottom of a pool of water that is 65.5 cm deep.

How far away, relative to the spot directly above it, must the beam of light strike the air-water interface in order that the light does not exit the water? cm

A ball of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds with a speed equal to 0.400 its original speed.

Part A What is the mass of the second ball?

A 2 kg stone is dropped from a 50-m-tall building. Simultaneously, a second 1 kg stone is thrown horizontally from the building at a speed of 15 m/s, as shown in the figure.

Calculate the x position of the center of mass of the two-stone system the moment after they are set in motion.

Calculate the y position of the center of mass of the two-stone system the moment after they are set in motion.

Calculate the x position of the center of mass of the two-stone system 2 s after they are set in motion.

Calculate the y position of the center of mass of the two-stone system 2 s after they are set in motion.

Calculate the x position of the center of mass of the two-stone system the moment they hit the ground.

Calculate the y position of the center of mass of the two-stone system the moment they hit the ground.

1. a) Explain Einstein’s theories of special relativity and general relativity.

b) Include at least one piece of evidence in support of each theory.

topic: Ballustic Pendulum Lab.
why does the total momentum before the collision include only the momentum of the ball? why is the momentum of the pendulum included?

A 318 g object is attached to a spring and executes simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.270 s. If the total energy of the system is 6.29 J.

(a) Find the maximum speed of the object. (------m/s ?)

(b) Find the force constant of the spring. (--------N/m ?)

(c) Find the amplitude of the motion. (------- m ?)

Speedy Sue, driving at 32.0 m/s , enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 175 m ahead traveling with velocity 5.00 m/s. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at -2.00 m/s^2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision?

A) Yes or No

B) If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Sue's car and the van and enter zero for the time.

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested traveling at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is 430 ly away, and that you want your 20,000 kg rocket to move so fast that you age only 24 years during the round trip.

A) How fast, as a fraction of c, must the rocket travel relative to earth?

B) How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?

C) Compare this amount of energy to the total energy E0 used by the United States in the year 2015, which was roughly 1.0×1020 J.

Each of the following objects has a radius of 0.199 m and a mass of 2.35 kg, and each rotates about an axis through its center (as in this table) with an angular speed of 38.1 rad/s. Find the magnitude of the angular momentum of each object.

(a) a hoop

(b) a solid cylinder

(c) a solid sphere

(d) a hollow spherical shell

The diameters of the main rotor and tail rotor of a single-engine helicopter are 7.67 m and 0.99 m, respectively. The respective rotational speeds are 449 rev/min and 4,149rev/min. Calculate the speeds of the tips of both rotors.

Compare these speeds with the speed of sound, 343 m/s.

A car travels downhill at 72 mile/hour, on level ground at 63 mile/hour, and uphill at only 56 mile/hour. The car takes 4 hours to travel from town A to town B. The return trip takes 4 hour and 40 mines. Find the distance between the two towns.
