Two 0.60 kg basketballs, each with a radius of 10 cm, are just touching. Ignore any other gravitational interactions.
(a) How much energy is required to change the separation between
the centers of the basketballs to 1.0 m?
_____ J
(b) How much energy is required to change the separation between
the centers of the basketballs to 10 m?
_____ J
As usual, if you don't draw the picture, label distances, you'll use the formula incorrectly.

[Q5-Home] (This question has 4 parts) You have a RC circuit connected to AC sine wave of 10 Volts peak. Your capacitor is 100 μF and your resistor is 10 Ω in series. For frequencies ranging from f=20 Hz to f=100 Hz at 20 Hz intervals and then discrete values of 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz, compute and plot frequency (x-axis, logarithmic) vs. Q5a) iRMS and Q5b) VC. Use the solved problem in 2.4 as your guide Q5c) What is the impact of frequency on iRMS and VC? Q5d) Discuss the physical interpretation of these results. [Hint: For each frequency calculate XC, then the impedance (Z), then iRMS and so forth].

In a physics lab, a cube slides down a friction-less incline as shown the figure below and elastically strikes another cube at the bottom that is only one-half its mass. If the incline is h = 28 cm high and the table is H = 85.1 cm off the floor, where does the larger cube land, in cm, horizontally away from the edge of table? [Hint: Both leave the incline moving horizontally.]

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 4.5-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.65 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says "No children under 30 kg allowed." What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?

A long, straight wire carrying a current I1 is placed on a horizontal table in front of you and the direction of the current points +x axis. The magnetic field produced by the current I1 at a point 5 cm above the wire is 0.2 T. A second parallel wire carrying a current I2 = 3I1 is placed 10 cm above the first wire and the direction of the current also points +x axis. What is the magnitude of the net magnetic field produced by these two currents at a point 5 cm above the table?
