Two blocks are free to slide along a frictionless, wooden track. The track consists of a curve of height 4.91 m that falls to a straightaway. A smaller block weighing 4.91 kg is allowed to fall from the top the curve. It has a spring pointed forward embedded at the front. After reaching the straightaway, it collides with a larger block weighing 12 kg that is hard and flat at its rear. The two blocks rebound elastically. What is the final speed of the larger block?

Discuss what was scientifically correct and incorrect. Do you think that the scientifically incorrect part was done out ignorance of the laws of physics/principles of geology or do you think that it was a simple plot device? Why do you think that the creators of these works routinely break the laws of physics/principles of geology? How do you think this affects the public's understanding of science?

Calculate the tidal force on a 75 kg person 2 meter height falling into a solar mass black hole just as they cross the event horizon. Compare that to the force of Earth's gravity on that same person (given by their mass multiplied by 9.8).

Suppose that at least 19.6 eV is needed to free an electron from a particular element, i.e., to ionize the atom. What is the lowest frequency photon which can accomplish this? And, what is the corresponding wavelength for that photon? Give frequency for answer 1 and wavelength for answer 2.

Bob, who has a mass of 80kg , can throw a 480g rock with a speed of 26 m/s . The distance through which his hand moves as he accelerates the rock forward from rest until he releases it is 1.0m .

Part A : What constant force must Bob exert on the rock to throw it with this speed?

Part B : If Bob is standing on frictionless ice, what is his recoil speed after releasing the rock?

A water hose 2.85 cm in diameter is used by a gardener to fill a 28.0-liter bucket. (One liter = 1,000 cm³.) The gardener notices that it takes 1.00 min to fill the bucket. A nozzle with an opening of cross-sectional area 0.500 cm² is then attached to the hose. The nozzle is held so that water is projected horizontally from a point 1.00 m above the ground. Over what horizontal distance can the water be projected?
4.33 m *CORRECT*

EXERCISE HINTS:  GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!

Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. The nozzle is replaced with a Y-shaped fitting that splits the flow in half. Garden hoses are connected to each end of the Y, with each hose having a 0.420 cm² nozzle.

(a) How fast does the water come out of one of the nozzles?

4.67 m/s *INCORRECT*
Some of the information you need is in the example. m/s

(b) How far would one of the nozzles squirt water if both were operated simultaneously and held horizontally 1.00 m off the ground? (Hint: Find the volume flow rate through each 0.420-cm² nozzle, then follow the same steps as before.)

2.11 m *INCORRECT*

Your expression is correct, but since your answer to part (a) is wrong, this answer is wrong too.

A roller coaster car with its passengers has a mass of 220 kg and it goes through a series of horizontal and vertical curves.

A. Draw the free body diagrams for the car going around a horizontal curve, the bottom of a vertical loop, and the top of a vertical loop in which the cart is upside down. Indicate the direction of the acceleration on each diagram.

B. If the car is moving at 25 m/s what is the smallest horizontal curve it can go around and not exceed a 4.5g limit on acceleration (g = 9.8 m/s2?

C. What speed does the car need at the top of a loop with a radius of 4.5 m in order for the car to experience weightlessness?

D. What is the apparent weight of the car at the bottom of a 4.5 m radius loop at 25 m/s?

So why would the Earth, or any planet for that matter, rotate along an axis? I know of no force which could come into play here, so i assume it just started off with an initial rotation. But where did this rotational energy come from? And are there any known planets which do not rotate?

Assuming no force accounts for earth's rotation, would it be true that the angular velocity of the earth would decrease(by a very very small amount), when bombarded by meteors(Due to an increase in the moment of inertia by the increase in mass of the earth i.e. the additional mass of the meteors)?

An ideal monoatomic gas is separated into two volumes V1 and V2 by means of
of a diathermic piston, such that each volume contains N atoms and both parts are
they find at the same temperature T0. The complete system is isolated from the
exterior by means of insulating walls.
The piston is externally manipulated reversibly until the two gases are
they find in thermodynamic equilibrium one with the other.
The purpose is to find the final temperature and the work done, or by the system, or
in the surroundings.
To answer this problem, follow the steps described below and answer
the questions that are asked:
a) What is the name of the type of process described? Show that
ΔS1 = -ΔS2
where ΔS1 and ΔS2 are the changes in the entropies of the two gases.
b) Write the equilibrium conditions in the final state and find the final volumes

c) Find the final temperature. (Hint: Use the First Law on each side and the
result of subsection a)).
d) Find the total work due to the manipulation of the piston. Does the system do work
Or does the external agent do work on the system? Explain
