A hollow, thin-walled sphere of mass 11.0 kg and diameter 48.0 cm is rotating about an axle through its center. The angle (in radians) through which it turns as a function of time (in seconds) is given by θ(t)=At2+Bt4, where A has numerical value 1.20 and Bhas numerical value 1.60.
At the time 3.00 s , find the angular momentum of the sphere.
At the time 3.00 s , find the net torque on the sphere.

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 6.40 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.100 s, what force does the seat belt exert on each driver? force on truck driver N force on car driver N

Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the time the ball lands in your hand.
Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it
at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time
the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the
time the ball lands in your hand.
Determine the velocity of the ball at the moment of release and the
distance the ball traveled before it started its descent. Graph the
flight of the ball into five sections: (1) from initiation of
upward motion of the hand to just prior to release, (2) from moment
of release to just before maximum height, (3) at maximum height,
(4) from maximum height to just before you catch the ball, (5) from
the ball contact to the ball being brought to rest. For each
section, describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration.

A film of oil lies on wet pavement. The refractive index of the oil exceeds that of the water. The film has the minimum nonzero thickness such that it appears dark due to destructive interference when viewed in red light (wavelength = 640.0 nm in vacuum). Assuming that the visible spectrum extends from 380 to 750 nm, for which visible wavelength(s) in vacuum will the film appear bright due to constructive interference?

The great russian physicist Lev Landau developed a famous entry exam to test his students. This "Theoretical Minimum" contained everything he considered elementary for a young theoretical physicist. Despite its name, it was notoriously hard and comprehensive, and in Landau's time, only 43 students passed it.
I wonder if anyone can provide the list of topics, or even a copy of the exam?
(I'm sure I'd have no chance to pass, but I'd like to see it out of a sense of sportmanship ;-). Also, I think it would make quite a good curriculum of theoretical physics (at least pre 1960).)

A 35-year-old patent clerk needs glasses of 50-cm focal length to read patent applications that he holds 25 cm from his eyes. Five years later, he notices that while wearing the same glasses, he has to hold the patent applications 40 cm from his eyes to see them clearly.
What should be the focal length of new glasses so that he can read again at 25 cm?
