Two large parallel copper plates are 3.60 cm apart and have a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 7.98 N/C between them (see the figure). An electron is released from the negative plate at the same time that a proton is released from the positive plate. Neglect the force of the particles on each other and find their distance from the positive plate when they pass each other.

Question 1

  1. You find that statistical uncertainty is your largest measurement uncertainty and that the IV value is your largest propagated uncertainty. How can you try to improve both uncertainties in the simplest, but most effective way?

    Choose from these answers

    start over to collect the same number of DV measurements as before, but at a greater variety of IV data points than before

    take more measurements for the DV values at the IV data points already measured

    collect DV data for new IV data points  

    take more measurements for the DV value at the IV data points already collected and add more IV data points

    use a new DV instrument to take more  DV measurements for the  IVdata points already collected and collect additional DV data for more IV data points not previously measured

    use a new IV instrument but the same DV instrument to collect the same number of measurements at a wider variety of IV data points

    use a new IV instrument but the same DV instrument to collect more DV measurements than before at the same IV data points

Suppose that you shine light from a laser through two slits that are placed one in front of the other, separated by 0.6mm. The width of each slit is 0.12mm. The light will travel from the laser, through the slits, and onto a screen 1.5m away.

a. Predict what you will observe on the screen, and compare it to what you would expect from single-slit diffraction.

b. If ray (geometrical optics) accurately described this siutation, what would the pattern on the screen look like? Explain.

c. How would the pattern change if you used narrower slits?

d. How would the pattern change if you used wider slits?

e. Draw a graph showing the relationship between intensity (y-axis) and distance across the screen (x-axis).

f. Is there a relationship between the maximum intensity of the double-slit bright spots and the intensity pattern of a single slit of the same width? Do the heights of the peaks seem to follow the same pattern as the intensity of the single-slit pattern?

A device consists of 8 balls with mass .6kg attached to the ends of low mass spokes of length 1.8m, so that radius of rotation is .9m. it's held in a verticasl plane,frictionles axle. A lump of clay falls and sticks to one of the balls when the spoke attatched to the ball is at 45 degrees to the horizonal. Just before im pact the clay mass has speed of 5m/s, and the wheel is rotating counter clockwise with an angular spweed of .07 radians/s.Just before impact what is the angular momentum of the combined system of the device plus the clay around the center.

The answer is in vector form, with x and y both being 0

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.450 m/s. The total mass of the sled, man, and rock is 97.5 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.280 kg and the man can throw it with a speed of 17.5 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock forward (i.e., in the direction the sled is moving).

Determine the speed of the sled (in m/s) if the man throws the rock directly backward.

Problem: A popular brain teaser is to consider the motion of a quarter when you roll it around another one; how many times will Washington’s head rotate while the quarter rolls once around the other fixed quarter. This problem is a generalization of this puzzle. Assume a system of units such that the radius of the quarter is equal to one unit. Your task is to determine a parameterized position vector describing the location of the white dot on the rim of the rolling quarter. As the quarter moves, this dot will sweep out a curve in space. Derive the parametric equations for the curve and plot it. Include a copy or sketch of your plot. Hint: The center of the rolling quarter travels along a circle of radius 2
