You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 89.0 units and a y component of -60.0 units.
What are the two possibilities for its x component?
Assuming the x component is known to be positive, specify the magnitude of the vector which, if you add it to the original one, would give a resultant vector that is 80.0 units long and points entirely in the −x direction.
Specify the direction of the vector.

A hollow aluminum cylinder 24.5 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 17.0°C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 17.0°C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 69.0°C. (The average linear expansion coefficient for aluminum is 24 ✕ 10−6°C−1, and the average volume expansion coefficient for turpentine is 9.0 ✕ 10−4°C−1.)
(a) How much turpentine overflows?
_______cm^3
(b) What is the volume of turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 69.0°C? (Give your answer to at least four significant figures.)
___________L
(c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then
cooled back to 17.0°C, how far below the cylinder's rim does the
turpentine's surface recede?

a) A treasure map gives the following directions: (1) Walk fifty meters at 30 degrees north or east from the old oak tree. (2) Turn 45 degrees to your left (you should now be facing 75degrees north of east) and walk another fifty meters. You will find the treasure buried under a rock. What straight-line path would take you directly from the old oak tree to the rock with the treasure buried under it?
b) You followed the first direction on the treasure map correctly but after trying to follow the second direction, you do not find a rock with treasure buried under it. Instead, you are standing in a mudhole 92.4 meters 7.50 degrees north of east from the oak tree. What was the erroneous path (distance and direction) you took for the second part of the directions? What mistake did you make in following the directions on the treasure map?

Let's use the Bohr model equations to explore some properties of the hydrogen atom. We will determine the kinetic, potential, and total energies of the hydrogen atom in the n=2 state, and find the wavelength of the photon emitted in the transition n=2?n=1.
Find the wavelength for the transition n=5 ? n=4 for singly ionized helium, which has one electron and a nuclear charge of 2e. (Note that the value of the Rydberg constant is four times as great as for hydrogen because it is proportional to the square of the product of the nuclear charge and the electron charge.)
Express your answer in nanometers to three significant figures.

14.4 15.0 L of an ideal monatomic gas at 3.00 atm and 450 K are contained in a cylinder with a piston. The gas first cools isochorically to 270 K (step 1). It then expands isobarically back to its original temperature (step 2), and then contracts isothermally back to its original volume (step 3). a) Show the series of processes on a pV diagram. b) Calculate the temperature, pressure, and volume of the system at the end of each step in the process. Indicate the p and V values on the pV diagram. c) Compute the total work done by the gas on the piston during each step of the cycle in L - atm, and the total work done by the gas for one complete cycle. d) Compute the heat added during each step of the cycle in L - atm, and the net heat added for one cycle. Compare the total work done with the net heat added. e) Is this an engine or a refrigerator? If it is an engine, what is its efficiency; if it is a refrigerator, what is its coefficient of performance?
