A drinking fountain shoots water about 14 cm up in the air from a nozzle of diameter 0.60 cm. The pump at the base of the unit (1.1 m below the nozzle) pushes water into 1.2 cm diameter supply pipe that goes up to the nozzle. What gauge pressure does the pump have to provide? Ignore the viscosity; your answer will therefore be an underestimate

A wire containing a charge of λ Coulombs per unit length is embedded along the axis of a cylinder of dielectric material. There is no free charge inside the dielectric. The composition of the dielectric is non-uniform, such that its permittivity is a function of the distance from the central axis, i.e. ε = ε(r).
(a) Find the displacement field, D as a function of distance from the central axis of the wire, r.
(b) if the electric field strength, E, is independent of r, determine the form of ε(r).
(c) Find an expression for the electrostatic potential as a function of r.

A 7.2 kg block with a speed of 10 m/s collides with a 19 kg block that has a speed of 5.4 m/s in the same direction. After the collision, the 19 kg block is observed to be traveling in the original direction with a speed of 5.4 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 7.2 kg block immediately after the collision?(b) By how much does the total kinetic energy of the system of two blocks change because of the collision? (c) Suppose, instead, that the 19 kg block ends up with a speed of 4.7 m/s. What then is the change in the total kinetic energy?

Robot No. 5 (mass 273kg) and Prisoner No. 6 (mass 66kg) stand on a frictionless ice rink, both holding a rope. The robot is at x = −3m and the prisoner is at x = 17m. The robot starts winding up the rope. Considering the two of them plus the rope as a system, there are no external horizontal forces on either of them. When the rope is fully wound, where do No. 5 and No. 6 meet?

Problem 3: Double-slit experiment The monochromatic light diffracts on the two slits which are 0.1 mm apart (their size is negligible) and produces an interference pattern on the wall which is 3 m far from the apparatus.
a) The distance between the central bright fringe and the first off-center bright fringe is 2 cm. What is the wavelength of the light? Which color is it?
b) How many bright and dark fringes could we see on the wall?
c) We change the film with slits and the distance between adjacent dark fringe and bright fringe is 7 mm. What is the distance between two slits now?

Two identical probes are sent along the same path toward a neutron star. A neutron star is very dense, packing as much as 2 solar masses2 solar masses into a sphere with a radius on the order of 10 km. At the moment shown, the two probes are d=55.3 kmd=55.3 km and D=178 kmD=178 km away from the center of the neutron star, respectively.
Find the distance between the center of mass of the two probe system and its center of gravity.

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +9q. Sphere B carries a charge of -q. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Lastly, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. (a) What is the ratio of the final charge on sphere C to q? What is the ratio of the final total charge on the three spheres to q (b) before they are allowed to touch each other and (c) after they have touched?
