A Gaussian surface in the form of a hemisphere of radius R = 9.86 cm lies in a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 7.16 N/C. The surface encloses no net charge. At the (flat) base of the surface, the field is perpendicular to the surface and directed into the surface. What is the flux through (a) the base and (b) the curved portion of the surface?

One possibility for a low-pollution automobile is for it to use energy stored in a heavy rotating flywheel. Suppose such a car has a total mass of 1100 kg, uses a uniform cylindrical flywheel of diameter 1.50 m and mass 240 kg, and should be able to travel 350 km without needing a flywheel �spinup.� (a) Make reasonable assumptions (average frictional retarding force = 450 N, twenty acceleration period from rest to 95 km/h, equal uphill and downhill, and that energy can be put back into the flywheel as the car goes downhill), and estimate what total energy needs to be stored in the flywheel. (b) What is the angular velocity of the flywheel when it has full �energy charge�? (c) About how long would it take a 150 hp motor to give the flywheel a full energy charge before a trip?

The deuteron is a bound state of a proton and a neutron of total angular momentum j = 1. It is known to be principally an S(ℓ = 0) state with a small admixture of a D(ℓ = 2) state. Calculate the magnetic moment of the pure d state n-p system with j = 1. Assume that the n and p spins are to be coupled to make the total spin s which is then coupled to the orbital angular momentum ℓ to give the total angular momentum j. Express your result in nuclear magnetons. The proton and neutron magnetic moments are 2.79 and -1.91 nuclear magnetons, respectively.
Note: The nuclear magneton is given by
µ = [(gℓℓ + gss) · j] j(j + 1) jµ0

2 questions thx

1) A point source emits sound waves isotropically. A sound meter measures a sound level of 51.72 dB at location C and a sound level of 45.53 at location D, a distance of 16 m from location C. The two locations C and D and the point source are all located along the same line. How far from location C is the point source? Give your answer in m, though enter only the numerical part in the box.

2) A point source emits sound waves isotropically. A sound meter measures a sound level of 51.21 dB at location C and a sound level of 47.79 at location D, a distance of 15 m from location C. The two locations C and D and the point source are all located along the same line. What is the total output power emitted by the point source? Give your answer in mW, though enter only the numerical part in the box.
