A block of mass 23 kg is set on top of a 37 degree incline with a hight of 13.5 m. The incline rests on a table that is 27.8 m above the ground on the planet Mercury (M = 3.285 * 10^23 kg, R = 1516 mi). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is 0.18. The gravitational acceleration on Mercury is 3.68 m/s.

How far from the base of the table does the block land?

A 80.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 18.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would their final velocities (in m/s) be in this case? (Assume the original direction of the ice puck toward the goalie is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

In an experiment electrons are released with a kinetic energy of 2.8 eV. The amazing physicists doing the experiments are increasing the wavelength by 50%. Do you remember what happens? Are the photoelectrons faster or slower? The energy now is 0.44 eV.

A) Based on that information, what is the material of the cathode? (calculate the work function and compare to table 28.1 in our textbook).

B) What is the initial wavelength of the light?

C) When you go a few pages back in the textbook you can find out the temperature of a physical object radiating at that wavelength

Go through the first 20 elements in the chart. Note and record which orbital contains the additional electron. (The various orbitals are given in the upper right area of the Table.) The filling process is fairly straight forward to this point in the Periodic Table, but becomes a little more complex as outer orbitals are filled. Using a Word document you can write the electronic configurations by using the "superscript" function. Click on each element and write electronic configurations for elements number 21 through 36. What happens when going from Vanadium to Chromium? What happens when going from Nickel to Copper?

Ron Swanson is by his fireplace drinking his favorite Lagavulin scotch (the 16 year, of course). He pours 2 ounces (60 ml) of scotch taken from ambient temperature (20°C) and adds 2 cubes of ice, each weighing 1 g that are initially at 0°C. What is the final temperature of the scotch after the ice has melted and equilibrium has been reached? Include a heat diagram in your solution. Density of scotch = 950 kg/m3 Specific heat capacity: scotch 2000 J/(kg°C); water 4186 J/(kg°C) Latent heat of fusion for ice/water: 3.33 x 105 J/kg Important Note: you do NOT need to convert to K. If you use °C, the answer you will get will be in °C; if you convert to K, the answer you will get will be in K.
