Write the particular time dependent solution of the undamped harmonic oscillator given that at time t=0, the spring is initially at its equilibrium with an initial velocity v_0 and identify each term in the expression. Also, write the form of the time dependent velocity and show that it obeys the initial conditions.

For the calculations below, note that the Moon's mass is about 1/80th of the Earth's, so the total mass of the Earth-Moon system is essentially the Earth's mass.
(a) Once the Earth is in synchronous rotation with the Moon's orbit, what will be the semimajor axis (in km) of the Moon's orbit? Will it be inside or outside the Earth's Hill sphere?
(b) How large (in angular diameter) will the Moon appear in the Earth's sky once it's in synchronous orbit?

A jet with mass m = 6 × 104 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 2 m/s2. 1)What is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff?
2)What is the net vertical force on the airplane as it accelerates for takeoff?
3)Once off the ground, the plane climbs upward for 20 seconds. During this time, the vertical speed increases from zero to 20 m/s, while the horizontal speed increases from 80 m/s to 98 m/s. What is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it climbs upward?
4)What is the net vertical force on the airplane as it climbs upward?
5)After reaching cruising altitude, the plane levels off, keeping the horizontal speed constant, but smoothly reducing the vertical speed to zero, in 16 seconds. What is the net horizontal force on the airplane as it levels off?
6)What is the net vertical force on the airplane as it levels off?

Suppose 1.0 mol of an ideal gas is initially at P=4.0
atm and T=400 K. It is expanded irreversibly and adiabatically
against a constant pressure of 1.0 atm until the volume has
doubled.
(a) Calculate the final volume of the gas.
(b) Calculate w, q, and energy change ΔU of this process, in
joules.
(c) Calculate the final temperature of the gas.
(d) Calculate the entropy change ΔS of the ideal gas in the
process.
(e) What is the entropy change of the surroundings, ΔS_surr, during
this process? Does the results in (c) and (d) in combination
satisfy the second law of thermodynamics? Explain

An object with mass 70 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location <7, -35, -5> its speed was 5.0 m/s. A single constant force <210, 400, -150> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <7, -35, -5> m to location <11, -27, -8> m. Then a different single constant force <140, 250, 210> N acted on the object while the object moved from location <11, -27, -8> m to location <17, -31, -3> m. What is the speed of the object at this final location?

The speed of a plane in the absence of wind is 500 km/hr. In the presence of a wind, in order to fly due north at a speed of 450 km/hr with respect to the ground, the pilot must point the plane in a direction 35o east of due north. Which of the following vectors (in unit vector notation) describes the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground?
