a) Consider the excited state of beryllium with an electron configuration of 1s22s2p.      (i) What is the degeneracy of this electron configuration (i.e., how many distinct sets of quantum numbers are consistent with this configuration)?    [Note: The 2s and 2p electrons are in different sub-shells.]

   (ii) Determine the set of "term symbols" (e.g., 1S0, 3P2, etc.) for this configuration and the degeneracy of each of them. Confirm that the sum of the degeneracies is equal to your answer in (i).

b) Consider the electron configuration of titanium (1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2).

(i) Show that the possible states for this electron configuration are 1S, 1D, 1G, 3P, and 3F.   [Hint: For two electrons in the same sub-shell, the spatial state is symmetric for even L and antisymmetric for odd L.]

(ii) Determine the values of J associated with each of these term symbols and show how Hund’s rules determine which of these states has the lowest energy.

Projectile Motion - Rocket Clears Wall - General Launch Angle

A rocket is fired at an initial speed v0 = 165.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle θ = 50° above the horizontal.

A wall is located at d = 67.0 m. Its heigh is h = 47.0 m. Ignore air resistance.

The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.

Choose the RIGHT as positive x-direction. Choose UPWARD as psotitive y-direction

Find v0x, the x component of the initial velocity (in m/s) . Keep 2 decimal places.

Find v0y, the y component of the initial velocity (in m/s) . Keep 2 decimal places.

You will calculate the time at which the rocket flies over the wall.

To find this time, should you use the horizontal (x) motion or the vertial (y) motion?

(a) At what time (in seconds) (after being fired) does the rocket fly over the wall? Keep 4 decimal places.

Note: when the rocket flies over the wall, in general, the height of the rocket is not equal to the maximum height.

(b) What is the rocket's height (in meters) when it flies over the wall? Keep 3 decimal places.

(c) By how much (in meters) does the rocket clear the top of the wall? Keep 3 decimal places.

(d) What is the rocket's maximum height (in meters) above the ground? Keep 2 decimal places.

Suppose that we have two masses, m1 and m2, traveling at initial velocities v1i and v2i . After they collide, they will have velocities v1f and v2f . The collision will happen along a straight line, and there are no external forces involved.

Exercise 1 Let m1 = 0.20 kg, m2 = 0.50 kg, v1i = 0.50 m/s, and v2i = 0.0 m/s. If v2f = 0.286 m/s, what is v1f ?

For the collision above what are the initial and final kinetic energies? Is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?

Let m1 = 500 g, m2 = 500 g, v1i = 0.45 m/s, and v2i = 0.0 m/s. If v1f = 0.225 m/s, what is v2f ? Simply stated, what would you say about the two masses after the collision? What type of collision is this?

A 1kg ring with a radius of 10 cm rolls down a board inclined at 30 degrees from a height of 4 meter. At the bottom of the inclined, n a frictionless table fits a 3-kg block. After coming off of the incline, the ring slides (without rolling) until colliding and coupling with the block. The ring-block system then continues to move and flies off the edge of the 1.5 meter high table. What is the velocity of the ring-block system after the collision?
