The women’s record for fastest serve is by Sabine Lisicki with 131 mph which is approximately 58.56 m/s.  Suppose she hit the ball at a height of 2.6 meters above the court at an angle of 8 degrees below the horizontal.

a.  How high will the ball be when it reaches the net which is 11.89 meters away from the baseline?  Assume she hit the ball right above the baseline.  Does it hit the net or cross over it if the net height is 0.91 meters at the center?

b.  If she served the exact same way, but now with no net in front of her, how far from where she hit the ball would it land on the court?

c.  How fast is the ball going right before it hits the court?  Give the ball’s horizontal, vertical, and resultant velocity.  With the resultant, make sure to give both its size and direction (angle and reference)

A meterstick (L = 1 m) has a mass of m = 0.19 kg. Initially it hangs from two short strings: one at the 25 cm mark and one at the 75 cm mark.

A 2.00kg bucket containing 11.5kg of water is hanging from a vertical ideal spring of force constant 140N/m and oscillating up and down with an amplitude of 3.00 cm. Suddenly the bucket springs a leak in the bottom such that water drops out at a steady rate of 2.00 g/s.

Part A

When the bucket is half full, find the period of oscillation.

Part B

When the bucket is half full, find the rate at which the period is changing with respect to time.

Part C

Is the period getting longer or shorter?

Part D

What is the shortest period this system can have?

Squid use jet propulsion for rapid escapes. A squid pulls water into its body and then rapidly ejects the water backward to propel itself forward. A 1.5 kg squid (not including water mass) can accelerate at 20 m/s² by ejecting 0.15 kg of water.

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of electrical energy and 225 therms for gas heating and cooking in a period of 1 month. Given that 1.00 therm is equal to 29.3 kWh, how many milligrams of mass would need to be converted directly to energy each month to meet the energy needs for the home?(in mg)

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.39-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.04 cm and has a force constant of 8.10 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.6 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 5 N on the ball.

(a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon?
m/s

(b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed?
cm
(from its original position)

(c) What is this maximum speed?
m/s

Absorpstion spectrum of hydrogen shows line in 404.7 nm ; 435.8 nm and 486.3 nm.

Determine:
a. Transtition for each line above
b. Ionization energy of Hydrogen

[Question doesn't state about spectral series (Lyman, Balmer.....). I am confused about this part. How I determine n1?]

A bullet of mass m1 is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass m2 resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface is μk. The bullet remains embedded in the block, which is observed to slide a distance s along the surface before stopping.

Take the free-fall acceleration to be g.

Q3 Scenario: Discharge the electroscope and charge it again with the rubber rod. Rub the perspex rod with silk and bring it close to the metal disk on top of the electroscope, but do not touch the disk! Go back and forth with the perspex rod several times without touching the metal disk. (Pretend you have a magic wand and you’re casting a spell on the electroscope).

a) What happens when you rub the perspex rod with silk and bring it close to the metal disk on top of the electroscope, but without touching the disk? Explain.

b) When observing the oscillations of the needle, what direction does the electroscope needle go as you bring the rod closer to the metal disk? Explain.

c) What causes the electroscope needle to deflect in that manner? Explain.

d) Does the perspex rod have the same or opposite charge as the needle? Explain.
