A ball of mass 60 g is dropped from a height of 3.4 m.
It lands on the top of a ramp at height 1.8 m with a kinetic
friction coefficient of .3. The ramp is tilted at an angle of 20
degrees.
(a) What is the velocity of the ball at the top of the
ramp?
(b) At the bottom of the ramp it collides with and
sticks to a ball of mass 73 g. What is their velocity after the
collision?
(c) The stuck together balls collide with a spring of
spring constant 300 N/m. How much will they compress it?
(d) They then go back up the ramp. How high will they
go?

A 0.726-kg rope 2.00 meters long lies on a floor. You grasp one end of the rope and begin lifting it upward with a constant speed of 0.710 m/s. Find the position and velocity of the rope's center of mass from the time you begin lifting the rope to the time the last piece of rope lifts off the floor. Plot your results. (Assume the rope occupies negligible volume directly below the point where it is being lifted.)

Are these true or false, and explain why please.
White light shines on a sheet of iron but does not cause electrons
to be emitted from it. Once the intensity of the white light is
increased enough electrons will start to be emitted from the iron
sheet.
The Bohr model provides a successful explanation for the emission
spectrum of hydrogen gas.

Consider a circular vertical loop-the-loop on a roller coaster. A car coasts without power around the loop. Determine the difference between the normal force exerted by the car on a passenger with a mass of m at the top of the loop and the normal force exerted by the car on her at the bottom of the loop.
Express your answer in terms of m and the acceleration due to gravity g.

Two boxes with masses m1=5.0 kg and m2=3.0 kg are connected by a massless rope, which is put over a massless, frictionless pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the incline and the boxes is 0.12 and the coefficient of static friction between the incline and the boxes is 0.25.The angles of the inclines with respect to the horizontal are ?=45** and ?2=30**. Use 9.8 m/s^2 for gravity and assume the incline is fixed in space.
a.) Show that the system will have a nonzero acceleration if it is initially at rest. Find the magnitude and direction of acceleration.
b.) If the system moves 1.5 m(in the direction found in part a), what is the work done by: i.) gravity on m1, ii.) the normal force on m1, iii.) friction on m1, iv.) gravity on m2, v.) the normal force on m2, vi.) friction on m2
c.) Using the results from part b, what is the speed of the system after it has moved 1.5 m if it was initially at rest?

What happens to the charge on the capacitor? Why?
What happens to the energy stored in the capacitor? Why?
Now the battery is disconnected, and then the plate spacing is restored to its original value.

In February 2013, a 10,000 ton meteor entered the atmosphere near the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia. Analysis of the trajectory showed that the meteor was traveling at a speed of 17.5 km/s at an angle of 17.7o below horizontal, when it was at a height of 77.9 km. Fortunately the meteor exploded high in the atmosphere, where most of its energy was dissipated.
(a) Had the meteor not exploded, and ignoring air resistance, how long would it have taken for the meteor to hit the ground from its 77.9-km height?
(b) With the same assumptions as in part (a), how far in horizontal distance would the meteor have traveled from its initial location to when it hit the ground?
(c) Just before striking the ground, what would have been the meteor’s total velocity? (You may give your answer in either speed-angle or x,y component form.)
