Two rectangular pieces of plane glass are laid one upon the other on a table. A thin strip of paper is placed between them at one edge, so that a very thin wedge of air is formed. The plates are illuminated at normal incidence by 542nm light from a mercury-vapor lamp. Interference fringes are formed, with 14.0fringes/centimeter .

Find the angle of the wedge.

A spacecraft with a proper length of 350 m passes by an observer on the Earth. According to this observer, it takes 0.780 µs for the spacecraft to pass a fixed point. Determine the speed of the spacecraft as measured by the Earth-based observer.

Please show how you arrive at your answer!

Explain the following natural events in terms of the laws of physics that you have learned in this class. Include figures if necessary. Answer any two.

How does a bird fly?

If you keep boiled egg inside refrigerator, it becomes difficult to take the shell off. But if you keep it warm water for a minute or so it becomes very easy. Why?

Why inside swimming pool we feel very light weight?

Mention all the laws of physics applied in these processes.

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 0.50 rev/s . Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg , 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 62 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head, where she appears to be a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder. Part A What is her new rotation frequency, in revolutions per second? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

What is her new rotation frequency, in revolutions per second?

A spherical bowling ball with mass m = 3.3 kg and radius R = 0.11 m is thrown down the lane with an initial speed of v = 8.9 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sliding ball and the ground is ? = 0.28. Once the ball begins to roll without slipping it moves with a constant velocity down the lane.

What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the bowling ball as it slides down the lane?

What is magnitude of the linear acceleration of the bowling ball as it slides down the lane?

How long does it take the bowling ball to begin rolling without slipping?

How far does the bowling ball slide before it begins to roll without slipping?

What is the magnitude of the final velocity?

16. Briefly explain why each of the following statements is likely to be either true or false, giving reason(s) based on the concepts discussed in class. Ignore friction.

1. a) A sports utility vehicle (SUV) hits a stationary motorcycle. The motorcycle experiences a greater force than the SUV does.

2. b) A semitrailer truck crashes through a wall. Since the wall collapses, the wall sustains a greater force than the truck does.

3. c) Sam (18 years old) and his sister Janice (7 years old) go ice skating. They push off against each other and fly apart. Janice flies off with the greater acceleration.

William Tell is said to have shot an apple off his son’s head with an arrow. If the arrow was shot with an initial speed of 50.0 m/s and the boy was 28.0 m away, at what launch angle above the horizontal did Bill aim the arrow? (Assume that the arrow and apple are initially at the same height above the ground. Hint: sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ)

2. Aa consequence of a fall-out, two radioactive beta emitting isotopes are released. Tritium, with a physical half-life time of 12 years and an average beta energy of 6keV, and¹³⁷Cs, with 30 years half-life time and an electron with average energy of 170 keV (we neglect the also emitted high energy y-ray here)

   1. a) A human of 100Kg ingests 107 Bq of tritium and 10³ Bq of ¹³⁷Cs. No additional activity is taken in afterwards. What is the whole body dose from each isotope the human receives over the first 1 day? Assume here that all the activity stays constant in the body over the day.

   2. b) One year after the incident, what is the dose over the year from the given ingested activity from each isotope? Assume tritium has 10 days and Caesium15 years of biological half-life time in the human body.
