You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 52000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship’s storage module, and has a mass of 9000 kg.

The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion.
(a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 630 m/s, what is the speed of the damaged craft?
(b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?
(c) In which direction, and how fast must you go, in order to catch up with the GE 5000 before its life support systems fail. (The crew had 80 minutes of life support left when they made the distress call, so you have 60 minutes to get to them.)

A. Consider two concentric spherical structures of radius r1 and r2 such that r1 < r2 and full load Q and -2Q respectively. Calculate the magnitude of the field on ́ectrico in all three regions, i.e. within the smaller sphere, between the spheres and outside the sphere of the larger radius.
Where does the electric field point to for this system?

(no matter what material these concentric spherical are made of)

B. Two cylindrical coaxial shells with radius r1 and r2 such that r1 < r2 and with linear charge density λ and -λ. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field in the three regions: inside the smaller cylinder, between the cylinders and outside the larger cylinder.
Where does the field on ́ectrico point to for this system?

(no matter what material these cylinders are made of)

Two 10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.52 cm apart form a parallel-plate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to the terminals of a 20 Vbattery.

1--------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential difference between the electrodes while the capacitor is attached to the battery?

2---------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential difference between the electrodes after insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process.

3----------

What are a) the charge on each electrode, b) the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and c) the potential difference between the electrodes after the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of parts D-F) are expanded until they are 20 cm in diameter while remaining connected to the battery?

A point charge of is at the origin, and a second
point charge of +6.00nC is on the x axis at x=0.800m Find
the magnitude and direction of the electric field at each
of the following points on the x axis

a)x=20.0cm b)x=1.20m c) -20.0cm

so, since its electric field question using e=k*q/r^2 i can solve this

so, e= (k*q/r^2) + (k*q/r^2)

so, +6.00nC is on the x axis at x=0.800m....

and -4.00nC is at the origin.. so 0.

a) e= (k*4*10^-9c / 2*10^-2m) + (k*6*10^-9c / .800m ?)   

it say its on the x axis at .800.. right?

Me and a friend have been trying to figure this out for a while. I know I have the XL = 2*pi*f*L formula.

Any help would be appreciated (particularly if its in detailed/clear steps) so I can figure out how to do this problem that could very well be on the test.

1.A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated 2.80 m above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of 19.9 m/s at an angle of 32.0˚ above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.

2.A 53.8-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.720 and 0.379, respectively. What horizontal pushing force is required to (a) just start the crate moving and (b) slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed?

PLZ help me with these two Questions. Thanks a lot.

The amount of meat in prehistoric diets can be determined by measuring the ratio of the isotopes nitrogen-15 to nitrogen-14 in bone from human remains. Carnivores concentrate 15N, so this ratio tells archaeologists how much meat was consumed by ancient people. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain singly-ionized (missing one electron) nitrogen atoms of speed 8.95 km/s and bend them along a semicircle within a uniform magnetic field. The 14N atoms travel along a semicircle with a diameter of 27.5 cm . The measured masses of these isotopes are 2.32×10−26 kg (14N) and 2.49×10−26 kg for (15N). Find the separation of the 14N and 15N isotopes at the detector.

A football kicker can give the ball an initial speed of 25.0 m/s. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest elevation angles at which he can kick the ball to score a field goal from a point 50.0 m in front of goalposts whose horizontal bar is 3.44 m above the ground? When doing this, you may want to research some trig identities to get a formula involving only tangent functions. Also, since there are two values of angle that will work, maybe the quadratic formula is involved.

5. Suppose the Earth is really flat. Shaped like a penny, it has one side that faces the Sun at all times. Suppose this Earth is the same temperature everywhere (including the side that faces away from the Sun). Neglect any radiation losses off the rim of the Earth and assume there is no albedo or greenhouse effect. Treating it as a perfect blackbody, estimate the temperature of this new, flat Earth.

(iii) A consequence of the Free Electron approach is that the electron mass me effectively becomes a variable, the so-called effective mass, me * , which is governed by the curvature of the Ek vs. k function. Show that where the curvature of this function is large the effective mass is small. [4 marks]

(iv) It is often found that some ‘useful’ semiconductors such as silicon or gallium arsenide have bands which show a high degree of curvature, whereas many insulators do not. Discuss how this influences the properties of each type of material.
