You are driving through town at 12 m/s when suddenly a car backs out of a driveway in front of you. You apply the brakes and begin decelerating at 3.3 m/s2. How much time does it take to stop? After braking half the time found in part A, is your speed 6.0 m/s, greater than 6.0 m/s, or less than 6.0 m/s?

Devise a straightforward method that allows you to calculate (a) the speed and (b) the angular momentum of an electron in the nth Bohr orbit. Your expressions should contain the number of the orbit, n, and constants.
Using the formula that you devised, calculate the speed of an electron and the angular momentum of an electron in the tenth Bohr orbit. Units for answers are m/s for speed and J/s for angular momentum.

Free-body Diagrams - 01
Due in 21 hours, 49 minutes
A free-body diagram is a major tool we use to help analyze problems involving forces. To create a free-body diagram, place a dot on the paper to represent the object (or objects) of interest and then draw all of the forces acting on that body. The force vectors are drawn with their tail on the dot. A major step in any of our force problems is correctly identifying all of the forces acting on an object. There are three possible free-body diagrams shown at the top of the problem. Select the appropriate free-body diagram for each of the situations listed below. If there are two items mentioned, select the free-body diagram for the first object mentioned (book, block, you, ball).

A sealed vertical cylinder of radius R and height h = 0.616 m is initially filled halfway with water, and the upper half is filled with air. The air is initially at standard atmospheric pressure, p0 = 1.01·105 Pa. A small valve at the bottom of the cylinder is opened, and water flows out of the cylinder until the reduced pressure of the air in the upper part of the cylinder prevents any further water from escaping. By what distance is the depth of the water lowered? (Assume that the temperature of water and air do not change and that no air leaks into the cylinder.)

The figure below shows a bar of mass m = 0.280 kg that
can slide without friction on a pair of rails separated by a
distance ℓ = 1.20 m and located on an inclined plane that makes an
angle θ = 29.5° with respect to the ground. The resistance
of the resistor is R = 1.50 Ω, and a uniform magnetic
field of magnitude B = 0.500 T is directed downward,
perpendicular to the ground, over the entire region through which
the bar moves. With what constant speed v does the bar
slide along the rails?
