Suppose a 10.0 kg fireworks shell is shot into the air with an initial velocity of 69.0 m/s at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal. At the highest point of its trajectory, a small explosive charge separates it into two pieces, neither of which ignite (two duds). One 9.00 kg piece falls straight down, having zero velocity just after the explosion. Neglect air resistance (a poor approximation, but do it anyway).

(a) At what horizontal distance from the starting point does the 9.00 kg piece hit the ground?
m
(b) Calculate the velocity of the 1.00 kg piece just after the separation.
m/s
(c) At what horizontal distance from the starting point does the 1.00 kg piece hit the ground?
m

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.62 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6.0 m apart. (a) How fast are the waves traveling? (b) What is the amplitude of each wave? (c) If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m, but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Which example illustrates a behavior called “photoconductivity”?

A metallic film conducts electricity when an electric potential is applied across it.

A cathode emits electrons when it is struck by white light, which is a mixture of light of many frequencies.

A film with metallic properties becomes a better electrical conductor when light is shined upon it.

Parasitic power theft:

A power line running East-West at 150kVAC carrying a 75 MWatt load is 10 meters overhead. A thief makes a 100 turn loop of insulated copper wire around a plastic garbage can with a 70cm diameter. The voltage generated in this coil is used to charge batteries for a fish-finder, lights and radio in his fish hut. The battery charger is electrically equivalent to a 5 ohm resistor.

a) What orientation of the garbage pail winding will allow the greatest rate of electricity theft?

b) Determine the voltage generated across the battery charger.

c) Residential power costs $0.10/kWh. What is the value of the power stolen per day.

d) Why would metal can be a bad choice?


e) Above the indication is that the other wire for the AC power transmission is very far away. In fact they both hang from the same structure. If each wire carries a 100amp current and they are separated by 50cm, determine the force per unit length on the wires
