Two long, charged, thin-walled, concentric cylindrical shells have radii of 3.9 and 9.4 cm. The charge per unit length is 6.8 × 10-6 C/m on the inner shell and -8.5 × 10-6 C/m on the outer shell. What are the (a) magnitude E and (b) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field at radial distance r = 5.9 cm? What are (c) E and (d) the direction at r = 14 cm?

Federal funding agencies must form committees to decide which telescope projects will receive funds for construction. When deciding whic projects wil be funded, the committees must consider:

that certain wavelengths of light are blocked from reaching Earth's surface by the atmosphere,

how efficiently telescopes work at different wavlengths, and

that telescopes in space are much more expensive to construct than Earth-based telescopes.

Using these three criteria, consider each pairing of telescope proposals listed below. For each pair, state which of the two you would choose to fund and explain your reasoning.

Pair A)

Project Beta:  An X-ray wavelength telescope, located near the North Pole, which will be used to examine the Sun.

Project Alpha: An infrared wavelength telescope, placed on a satellite in orbit around Earth, which will be used to view supernovae.

Pair B)

Project Rho: A UV wavelength telescope, placed high atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii at 14,000 ft above sea level, which will be used to look at distant galaxies.

Project Sigma: A visible wavelength telescope, placed on a satellite orbit around Earth, which will be used to observe a pair of binary stars located in the constellation Ursa Major.

Pair C)

Project Zeta:  A radio wavelength telescope, placed on the floor of the Mojave Desert, which will be used to detect potential communications from distant civilizations outside our solar system.

Project Epsilon:  An infrared wavelength telescope, located in the high-elevation mountains of Chile, which will be used to view newly forming stars (protostars) in the Orion nebula.

1. On a planet where the gravitational acceleration is g=10 m/s², a solid cube of wood measuring one foot on each edge exerts a uniform pressure of 3048 Pa on a flat tabletop due to its weight. Find the wood's specific gravity and state whether it will float on water. One foot is 0.3048 m.

2. A crown is made of an alloy consisting of gold (19 g/cc) and copper (9 g/cc). It weights 35 N in air, and 32.5 N when submerged in water. What fraction of its volume is gold?

The rotor in a certain electric motor is a flat, rectangular coil with 89 turns of wire and dimensions 2.57 cm by 4.20 cm. The rotor rotates in a uniform magnetic field of 0.800 T. When the plane of the rotor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the rotor carries a current of 10.6 mA. In this orientation, the magnetic moment of the rotor is directed opposite the magnetic field. The rotor then turns through one-half revolution. This process is repeated to cause the rotor to turn steadily at an angular speed of 3.72 103 rev/min.

(a) Find the maximum torque acting on the rotor.
0.000815N

A WCU student, who is snowboarding at Cataloochee, slides horizontally off the ledge of snowbank that is 1.25 meters above the ground.   When she leaves the ledge, she is initially moving horizontally at 7.50 m/s. Ignore air friction, as usual.

  1. Make a table showing values of x, y, vx, vy, and vtotal from the beginning (t = 0) to end (you’ll have to figure out tfinal) of her path for every 0.0200 seconds. (Note that she will hit the ground, y = 0, at the end.)
  1. Plot a graph of the snowboarder’s position during this whole time. (That is, plot her y vs. x position on one single graph.)
