In the “old days”, televisions were made from Cathode Ray Tubes whereby a beam of
electrons rapidly swept across the inside of the screen as a result of strategic deflections
from magnetic fields acting on the beam. Suppose that Frank has a massive 2000 inch
TV in which the image has to be updated 100 times per second (to minimize the
appearance of “flicker”) and that there are 100,000 rows.
(a) Show that the electron beam moves across the screen with a speed v  c .
(b) Explain why this superluminal speed does not contradict relativity. In particular, why
can’t information be transmitted from one side of the screen to the other with v  c ?

A golfer stands 5m above the fairway and drives a golf ball with an initial velocity of v0=(0,20,49)m/s. The golferwishes to impart slice to the golf ball, which is modeled by an acceleration of 1.2m/s^2 in the x direction. Thus the acceleration function is given by: a(t)=(1.2,0,-9.8).

assuming r(0)=(0,0,5), determaine: A) the velocity and position functions.

B) the maximum height of the golf ball.

C)the range of the shot:that is, the distance between where the ball lands and (0,0,0)

A block with mass m1 = 8.7 kg is on an incline with an angle θ = 38° with respect to the horizontal. For the first question there is no friction, but for the rest of this problem the coefficients of friction are: μk = 0.34 and μs = 0.374.

1) When there is no friction, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?

2) Now with friction, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block after it begins to slide down the plane?

3) To keep the mass from accelerating, a spring is attached. What is the minimum spring constant of the spring to keep the block from sliding if it extends x = 0.16 m from its unstretched length.

4) Now a new block with mass m2 = 14.8 kg is attached to the first block. The new block is made of a different material and has a greater coefficient of static friction. What minimum value for the coefficient of static friction is needed between the new block and the plane to keep the system from accelerating?
