In the inside of a TV set an electron is accerlerated by a potential difference of 20 kV in an evacuated tube. It is then passed through an uniform magnetic field of 100 mT which deflects it to the desired position on the screen.
1) Draw a diagram showing the path of the electron as it passes from the electron source to the screen.
2) After passing through the accelerating potential, what is the kinetic energy of the electron in eV? In joules?
3) What is the speed of the electron just before it enters the magnetic deflecting field?
4) What will be the radius of curvature of its path in the field?

A mass weighing 12lb stretches a spring 10in.. The mass is attached to a viscous damper with damping constant 3lb*s/ft. The mass is pushed upward, contracting the spring a distance of 2in, and then set into motion with a downward velocity of 4in/s. Determine the position of the mass at any time . Use as 32ft/s^2the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units.

A microscope is used to examine a sample of bacteria that are
spread on glass. If the diameter of the objective is twice its
focal length and the sample is near the focal point of the
objective, determine the shortest distance between two bacteria
that can be resolved under the microscope in the terms of the
wavelength ? of the light source.

A quidditch match is going on between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. A Hufflepuff chaser is flying 10 degrees north of east at a speed of 5 m/s. A bludger is heading east at a speed of 10 m/s. The bludger has a mass of 10 kg, and the player plus broom has a total mass of 80 kg. If the chaser catches the bludger (i.e. they collide and stick together), at what angle north of east do they move? Give both the expression and the numerical answer. (If you are not familiar with Harry Potter and its wizard jargon, you can reframe the question with the Hufflepuff chaser (player) as a soccer player and the bludger as a soccer ball.).
