Assuming that the inductance in Figure 24.4 has a value of 7.00 × 10-7 H, determine the range of capacitance values that are needed so the antenna can pick up all the radio waves broadcasted by FM stations.

You throw a penny (m = 2.5 g) with an initial speed of 9.4 m/s at 25◦ above the horizontal. At the maximum height of your thrown penny’s path another penny, traveling straight upward, collides and bounces off of your penny. The speed of the second penny at the moment of collision was 4.1 m/s. a) Determine the maximum height your thrown penny reaches as a result of this collision. b) How far, horizontally, does your penny travel before reaching the ground (assume that the penny was thrown from the ground). Hint: Make sure to account for BOTH directions at ALL times.)

Im trying to derive Cp - Cv = R where Cp and Cv are the molar specific heats at constant pressure and volume respectively. (R = 8.314 J/(mol*K)). So I'm only having problems with the last step.

I get that for a process at constant pressure we have:

∆E(internal) = Q + W = nCp∆T - P∆V

And I get that for a process at constant volume we have:

∆E(internal) = Q + W = Q + 0 => ∆E(internal) = Q

The last step is setting these two equations equal to one another, but I don't understand how we know that the internal energy of both processes are the same.

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei (4He) from gold-197 nuclei (197Au). The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 7.47 ✕ 10−13 J, and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.68 ✕ 10−27 kg and 3.29 ✕ 10−25 kg, respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). (Assume that the helium nucleus travels in the +x direction before the collision.) a)If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 108° during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus' final speed (in m/s) and the final velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the gold nucleus. b)What is the final kinetic energy (in J) of the helium nucleus?

A Light of wavelength 650 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the third-order bright red fringe is 47 mm from the central fringe on a screen 1.4 m away.

What is the separation of the two slits?

B In a double-slit experiment, the third-order maximum for light of wavelength 520 nm is located 17 mm from the central bright spot on a screen 1.6 m from the slits. Light of wavelength 630 nm is then projected through the same slits. How far from the central bright spot will the second-order maximum of this light be located?

C Light of wavelength 620 nm falls on a slit that is 3.70×10−3 mm wide. How far the first bright diffraction fringe is from the strong central maximum if the screen is 10.5 m away.

D A grating that has 3900 slits per cm produces a third-order fringe at a 27.0 ∘ angle.

What wavelength of light is being used?

E Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2∘ after passing through the grating. What is the wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22.0 ∘ ?

F Light of wavelength 670 nm passes through two narrow slits 0.65 mm apart. The screen is 2.40 m away. A second source of unknown wavelength produces its second-order fringe 1.21 mm closer to the central maximum than the 670 nm light. What is the wavelength of the unknown light?

A spaceship leaves the earth, starting from rest and accelerating at a constance rate of 10m/s^2. its destination is the Moon, 380,000 km from earth. ignore size of earth and moon. Assume that both are at rest.


a.) At this rate of acceleration how long will it take the spacecraft to reach the moon?



for part b assume the spaceship accelerates to a halfway point (same acceleration as a)and then begins to deccelerate to have a final velocity of 0 when it reaches the moon.


b.) With the new method how long will it take for the spaceship to reach the moon?


the spaceship is carrying a probe which it can launch ouot of the front end of the spacecraft with a speed of 5000 m/s with respect to the spaceship.


c.) Assume the spaceship is traveling the same way as part b, at what distance from the moon should the probe be launched so that it will reach the moon at the same time as the saceship?


suppose the spaceship also has a probe that it can launch in the backward direction at the same speed of 5000 m/s with respect to the ship.


d.) In this case what distance from the moon should the probe be launched so that it will reach the moon at the same time as the ship?


Need to know how to do this type of work for my exam. An explained answer so i can follow along is greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
