experience the same acceleration when dropped from the same height.

down an incline. The sphere with the smaller diameter will accelerate
faster.

objects speed.

increases.

Assume the average home requires an electrical power of 1.2kW, an average life expectancy of 75 years, and only power from nuclear energy. For such a homeowner, what would be the lifetime generation of vitrified high level waste (HLW) in kg and liters (assuming reprocessing and recycling of U and Pu). the vitrified waste containers in France hold the HLW equivalent of 1.5 fuel recycled assemblies with an energy production of 1 TWh (1E+12 Wh). Compare this to some common size object such as a soda can for ease of conversation. Of course, this ignores other energy needs/requirements for such a person. Explain. How might nuclear power be used to meet these needs also?

Suppose two parallel lines of current are 0.85A and 0.35A in the same direction, with the centers of their wires 21cm apart. A -2.04nC particle is fired at 3500m/s in the same direction as both lines of current exactly in between the lines of current.


a. Find the force that acts on the particle and in which direction. If a coordinate system will help, you may assume the currents and particle are in the +x direction and the currents lie in the xy plane.


b. Find the elctric field, magnitude, and direction that would allow the particle to continue to move parallel to the wires.


Thanks in advance! :) Please show all work!

Federal funding agencies must form committees to decide which telescope projects will receive funds for construction. When deciding whic projects wil be funded, the committees must consider:

that certain wavelengths of light are blocked from reaching Earth's surface by the atmosphere,

how efficiently telescopes work at different wavlengths, and

that telescopes in space are much more expensive to construct than Earth-based telescopes.

Using these three criteria, consider each pairing of telescope proposals listed below. For each pair, state which of the two you would choose to fund and explain your reasoning.

Pair A)

Project Beta:  An X-ray wavelength telescope, located near the North Pole, which will be used to examine the Sun.

Project Alpha: An infrared wavelength telescope, placed on a satellite in orbit around Earth, which will be used to view supernovae.

Pair B)

Project Rho: A UV wavelength telescope, placed high atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii at 14,000 ft above sea level, which will be used to look at distant galaxies.

Project Sigma: A visible wavelength telescope, placed on a satellite orbit around Earth, which will be used to observe a pair of binary stars located in the constellation Ursa Major.

Pair C)

Project Zeta:  A radio wavelength telescope, placed on the floor of the Mojave Desert, which will be used to detect potential communications from distant civilizations outside our solar system.

Project Epsilon:  An infrared wavelength telescope, located in the high-elevation mountains of Chile, which will be used to view newly forming stars (protostars) in the Orion nebula.
