In the figure, we must apply a force of magnitude 82.0 N to hold the block stationary at x = -2.00 cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +7.00 J of work on the spring–block system; the block is then again stationary. What are the block's positions? ((a) positive and (b) negative)

A proton in an atomic nucleus is bound to other protons and neutrons in the nucleus by the strong nuclear force when it is within approximately 3 fm of another particle. What is the approximate kinetic energy of a proton that is localized to such a region? What would be the corresponding energy of an electron localized to within such a region? Compare this to typical beta energies for beta decay. Is a release of electrons

A 50 kg teenager just got his license and is driving his brand new Escalade (mass 1100 kg) at 30 m/s. As he is texting and driving, he crashes into a stopped minivan, which has a mass of 980 kg. Since he is not wearing a seatbelt, he flies out of the window after the crash. If the Escalade and Minivan move together with a speed of 13 m/s after the perfectly elastic crash, with what velocity is the teenage (former) driver now flying through the air?

In this section we will study the problem of gender-wage discrimination. It is often argued that women are paid less than equally qualified men to do the same job. This is also true in academia. The University of Calgary administrators are trying to determine the gender earnings gap in order to `compensate' women who are underpaid. In the empirical analyses that follow, the following variables are defined as:

Y - Log earnings

F - female indicator

Age - age of individual

Assoc - indicator for Associate Professor Rank

Full - indicator for Full Professor Rank

ϴf- faculty/college indicators (e.g., Social Science, Engineering, Business...)

ϴd- department indicators (e.g., economics, history...)

  1. Consider the following:

E[Yi|Fi = 1] - E[Yi|Fi = 0]

Do you think that this identified the causal effect of being a woman on wage? Explain.

  1. Consider the following regression equation:

Yi = β0 + αFi + εi                                                                                                                       (1)

What variation in the data is being used to identify the male-female difference in earnings?

  1. Consider the following augmented regression:

Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + εi                                                                                                          (2)

How does adding age to the regression change the source of variation used in identifying the male-

female wage differential?

If female professors are, on average, younger than male professors, how would you expect the estimate of α to change from equation (1)?

  1. Consider the following augmented regression:

Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + γ1Associ + γ1Fulli + εi                                                                                                                  (3)

Now what variation in the data is used to identify the male-female difference in earnings? How would the estimate of α change relative to equation (1) if females are over-represented in the assistant professor rank?

  1. Consider the following augmented regression:

Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + γ1Associ + γ1Fulli + ϴf + εi                                                                     (4)

Now what variation in the data is used to identify the male-female difference in earnings? How would the estimate of α change relative to question 2 if females are over-represented in the higher paying faculties/colleges? What is the difference between running this regression and running regression 3 separately for each faculty/college?

  1. Discuss whether or not you would want to interact the department (or Assoc and Full) indicators with the female indicator. What other interactions might be important? What problems might you run into if you try to include too many interactions?
  1. Suppose the regression in question e suggested that women were underpaid relative to men. Discuss a few things that might be “left out" of this regression that you would ideally want to control for.

Monica and Dylan are doing a “thought experiment”. They are imagining that Monica is in a space ship orbiting a black hole, just outside the event horizon, while Dylan is in a space ship 1 light year away. Monica and Dylan each send each other a signal using a laser. From each of their perspectives, their laser flashes once a second. To Dylan, is Monica’s laser flashing faster, slower or at the same rate (once a second)? Similarly, how fast does Dylan’s laser appear to be flashing from Monica’s point of view?

Two air track gliders of mass 400.0 g and 300.0 g are moving towards each other in opposite directions with speeds of 60.0 cm/s and 100.0 cm/s, respectively. Take the direction of the more massive glider as positive. Use units of "g" and "cm/s" in your calculations.

  1. Determine the velocity of each glider after the collision if the collision is elastic. (Use units of "g" and "cm/s" for this question.)
  2. The most "inelastic" collision would occur if the two gliders stuck together on impact. If this was the case, find the velocity of the pair after the collision, and the kinetic energy lost as a result of the collision. (Determine the energies in standard units of "J.")

In an (AC) RLC circuit, does the what is the order of obstruction? Does the inductor, capacitor, or resistor obstruct first? and last? And what are each of them obstructing ( change of current or change of voltage)?

What about in (DC) source?

What happens when the capacitor receives a change in rate of voltage? Does it induce a new current to push back the voltage? I am very confused.

Please show in detail and diagrams.

Thank you
