In Fig. 8.3, a bullet of mass 0.01 kg moving horizontally strikes a block of wood of mass 1.5 kg which is suspended as a pendulum. The bullet lodges in the wood, and together they swing upward a distance of 0.40 m. What was the velocity of the bullet just before it struck the wooden block? The length of the string is 2 meters.

Two hard rubber spheres, each of mass m = 13.8 g, are rubbed with fur on a dry day and are then suspended with two insulating strings of length L = 5.25 cm whose support points are a distance d = 2.70 cm from each other as shown in the figure below. During the rubbing process, one sphere receives exactly twice the charge of the other. They are observed to hang at equilibrium, each at an angle of θ = 10.7° with the vertical. Find the amount of charge on each sphere. (Assume the two spheres have charges q1 and q2 = 2q1)

Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid the complications of breathing high-pressure nitrogen. At great depths the mix is almost entirely helium, which has the side effect of making the divers' voices sound very odd. Breathing helium doesn't affect the frequency at which the vocal cords vibrate, but it does affect the frequencies of the formants. The text gives the frequencies of the first two formants for an "ee" vowel sound as 270 and 2300 Hz.
What will these frequencies be for a helium-oxygen mixture in which the speed of sound at body temperature is 720m/s ? (Use 350 m/s for the speed of sound in the air.)

Which of the following statements are true?
True False Magnetic field lines always start at a North
and end at a South pole.
True False When placing a dipole magnet into a magnetic
field, it will be accelerated perpendicular to the field
lines.
True False The force on a moving charge is perpendicular
to both the field and its velocity.
True False The larger the charge of a moving particle,
the more it will accelerate inside of a magnetic field.
