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.

A parallel-plate capacitor made of circular plates of radius 65 cm separated by 0.30 cm is charged to a potential difference of 800 Volts by a battery. Then a sheet of mylar is pushed between the plates, completely filling the gap between them. How much additional charge flows from the battery to one of the plates when the mylar is inserted?

Two identical containers are open at the top and are connected at the bottom via a tube of negligible volume and a valve that is closed. Both containers are filled initially to the same height of 1.00 m, one with water, the other with mercury, as the drawing indicates. The valve is then opened. Water and mercury are immiscible. Determine the fluid level in the left container when equilibrium is reestablished.
