A hockey puck of mass 0.44 kg is shot west at 2.50 m/s strikes a second puck, initially at rest, of mass 0.50 kg. As a result of the collision, the first puck is deflected at an angle of 31° north of west, with a speed of 1.30 m/s. What is the speed of the second puck after the collision?

A uniform 5-m long ladder weighing 80 N  leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder is 1 m  from the wall. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor necessary for the ladder not to slip?

Here we will look at an example of subatomic elastic collisions. High-speed neutrons are produced in a nuclear reactor during nuclear fission processes. Before a neutron can trigger additional fissions, it has to be slowed down by collisions with nuclei of a material called the moderator. In some reactors the moderator consists of carbon in the form of graphite. The masses of nuclei and subatomic particles are measured in units called atomic mass units, abbreviated u, where 1u=1.66×10−27kg. Suppose a neutron (mass 1.0 u) traveling at 2.6×107m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a carbon nucleus (mass 12 u) that is initially at rest. What are the velocities after the collision? If the neutron's kinetic energy is reduced to 3649 of its initial value in a single collision, what is the mass of the moderator nucleus? Express your answer in atomic mass units as an integer.

White light (ranging in wavelengths from 380 to 750 nm) is incident on a metal with work function W_o = 2.68 eV.

In a series of experiments, a gas of exotic molecules containing exactly one electron

each is investigated. It is found that:

• When the gas is cold (so all the molecules are in their ground states) and illuminated

with light, it absorbs strongly at wavelengths 103.40nm, 137.87nm and 248.16nm.

• When the gas is cold and illuminated with light of short wavelength, the electrons are

ejected from the molecules as long as the wavelengths is less than 88.63nm.

• When the gas is heated, it emits light with 6 different wavelengths.

(a) If we chose to set the potential energy outside of the molecule to be zero, how far

below zero energy is the ground state of the molecule?

(b) How many discrete energy level does the molecule have?

(c) What wavelengths of light does the heated gas emit?

(d) A free electron with kinetic energy of 2eV is captured by the atom (which is originally ionized) and goes directly into the ground state. What is the wavelength of the emitted photon?

Hint: Electrons can jump from one energy level to another by emitting/absorbing a photon whose energy is equal to the difference in energies between the two states.

A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 36.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction. The inner radius of the cylinder, and the radius of the piston, is 7.00 cm. The top of the piston is exposed to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The cylinder has a height of 30.0 cm, and, when the temperature of the gas is 20°C, the bottom of the piston is 14.0 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. (a) Determine the pressure of the gas in the cylinder. kPa (b) Find the number of moles of ideal gas in the cylinder. moles (c) Heat is added, gradually raising the temperature of the gas to 165°C. Calculate the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the bottom of the piston when the piston comes to its new equilibrium position.

With the use of a phase shift, the position of an object may be modeled as a cosine or sine function (as a function of time). If given the option, which function would you choose (Note: this is an open-ended question; there is no wrong answer; just be sure to explain your choice please)? Assuming zero phase shift, if you are using a sine function to model the position of an object, what are the initial conditions of the oscillator---that is, the initial position, velocity, and acceleration of the oscillator at t=0? How about if you use a cosine function to model the position?

Questions/Applications

1. In procedure A & B, compare the incident and reflected angles. Find a % error.

4. For procedure E what color of the light was dispersed the most (dispersed meaning the color-dependent angle of refraction). Is your result consistent with equation (n = speed of light/frequency of light x wavelength? Explain your answer.
