Hector read that the traditional drink in Tibet is tea with
added butter. Inspired by this idea, he decides to investigate how
a thin layer of fat on the top of a hot liquid affects the cooling
of the liquid. He performs two different experiments.
Experiment 1: Hector pours 100 ml of boiling water into
each of two Styrofoam cups and adds a thin (2.0-mm) layer of hot
oil (at about 100∘C ) to one of the cups. He measures the initial
temperature in the cups, waits for 10 minutes, and then measures
the temperature again. His measurements are shown below.
| Cup A (no oil) |
Cup B (with layer of oil) |
|
| Ti | 98∘C | 98∘C |
| Tf | 84∘C | 95∘C |
Experiment 2: Hector puts two empty Styrofoam cups on
separate precision scales and zeroes the scales. Then he pours 100
ml of boiling water into each cup and adds a 2.0-mm layer of hot
oil to one of the cups. He records the initial readings of the
scales, waits for 10 minutes, and then records the readings of the
scales again. His data are shown below.
| Cup A (no oil) |
Cup B (with layer of oil) |
|
| mi | 99.00 g | 104.00 g |
| mf | 97.00 g | 104.00 g |
The surface area of the water in the cups is 3.0×10−3m2.
Part F
What other quantities relevant to the investigation can be determined or estimated from Hector's data?
a) The density of water
b) The number of moles of water
c) The rate of evaporation of oil
d) The density of oil

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1300 kg , is going from north to south at 17.0 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 65.0 ∘ south of east from the point of impact.
Part A: How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
v=_____________m/s
Part B: How fast was car AA going just before the collision?
Va=_____________m/s

Which of the following statements are true for an atom with 3 energy levels? You can choose more than one answer.
When atomic electrons are excited to a higher level, they always return to their lowest energy level by jumping down one level at a time.
For a given battery voltage the kinetic energy of the free electron at the point of collision is higher if the atom is closer to the source of electrons.
When a free electron hits an atom, the atom is always excited to the highest energy level possible.
For a given position of the atom, the kinetic energy of a free electron at the point of collision increases as the voltage of the battery increases.
The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on the number of free electrons passing through the lamp.
The number of different wavelengths emitted by the atom depends on how much kinetic energy the free electron has when it hits the atom.
Photons are emitted as electrons in the atom jump up in energy.

In an inkjet printer, letters and images are created by squirting
drops of ink horizontally at a sheet of paper from a rapidly moving
nozzle. The pattern on the paper is controlled by an electrostatic
valve that determines at each nozzle position whether ink is
squirted onto the paper or not.
The ink drops have a mass \(\texttip{m}{m}\) = 1.00

A point charge 4.20 μC is held fixed at the origin. A second point charge 1.40 μC with mass of 2.80×10−4 kg is placed on the x axis, 0.260 m from the origin.

Part B: The second point charge is released from rest. What is its speed when its distance from the origin is 0.600 mm?
Part C: What is its speed when its distance from the origin is 6.00 mm?
Part D: What is its speed when its distance from the origin is 60.0 mm?

Long, long ago, on a planet far, far away, a physics experiment was carried out. First, a 0.210-
kg ball with zero net charge was dropped from rest at a height of 1.00 m. The ball landed 0.450s later. Next, the ball was given a net charge of 7.80?C and dropped in the same way from the same height. This time the ball fell for 0.635s before landing.
What is the electric potential at a height of 1.00 m above the ground on this planet, given that the electric potential at ground level is zero? (Air resistance can be ignored.)

A large crate is suspended by a light string. A bullet is fired horizontally into the crate and becomes firmly lodged inside it. After being struck by the bullet, the crate swings upward to a maximm height and then swings back up.
Just before the collision (time t1), the crate is at rest and the bullet moves horizontally with speed v0. Immediately after the bullet becomes lodged inside the crate (time t2) the bullet and crate move together with speed v. The crate reaches its maximum height at time t3.
1. Consider the time interval between times t1 and t2 (i.e., the collision between the bullet and crate).
A) During the collision, how does the force exerted on the crate by the bullet compare to the force exerted on the bullet by the crate? Discuss both magnitude and direction. Explain?
B) Is the total momentum of the bullet-and-crate system conserved during the collision? Explain how you can tell.
C) Is the total kinetic energy of the system conserved during the collision? Explain how you can tell.
2. Now consider the time interval from t2 to time t3 for the situation described (when the bullet and crate move together to a maximum height after the collision).
A) Draw a free body diagram for the bullet-crate system for an instant between times t2 and t3. Clearly label all forces.
Is the total momentum of the system conserved from tme t2 to time t3? Explain.
B) For each force you indicated on your free body diagram in part a, indicate whether the work done by that force on the bullet-crate system is positive, negative, or zero. Explain your reasoning.
Is the total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) of the bullet-crat system conserved from time t2 to time t3? Explain.
3. Is it incorrect to say that the total mechanical energy of the bullet-crate system remains conserved for the entire motion. Explain why this is so, and indicate other types of energy into which the initial energy of the bullet could have been transformed.

A student is observing the oscillations of a mass on the end of
a spring. The spring has a force constant of 6 x
10-5N/m, and the mass is 0.15 kg. She pulls
it 6 cm below equilibrium and lets it go. She now
writes an equation which she believes describes the motion of the
mass. In her description, the y axis is vertical, and UP is
positive. Her equation is
y = (3 cm) sin ( 0.02 sec-1 t + 3.14)
(A) Does she have the amplitude
right? If not, what was right? If yes, explain.
(B) Does she have the frequency
right? If not, what was right? If yes, explain.
(C) Does she have the phase angle right? If not,
what was right? If yes, explain.
