A point charge with a mass of 1.81 ng and a charge of +1.22 uC moves in the x-y plane with a velocity of 3.00 x 104 m/s in a direction 15° above the +x-axis. At time t=0, the point charge enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1.25 T that points in the +x-direction. Assume that the point charge remains immersed in the uniform magnetic field after time t=0.
a. (5 points) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force that the magnetic field exerts on the point charge at time t=0?
b. (5 points) How does the x-component of the charge’s initial velocity effect the motion of this point charge as it moves through the uniform magnetic field? Does its magnitude change? Does its direction change? Explain your reasoning.
c. (5 points) How does the y-component of the charge’s initial velocity effect the motion of this point charge as it moves through the uniform magnetic field? Does its magnitude change? Does its direction change? Explain your reasoning.
d. (5 points) Use your answers from parts 1b & 1c to explain why the path of this point charge is helical (corkscrew-shaped). Explain your reasoning.
e. (2.5 points) Determine the radius of the circular part of the point charge’s helical path.

True/False: Because hot water cools down faster than cold water, an ice cube tray filled with hot water will freeze faster than an ice cube tray filled with cold water. Explain your choice.
Hint: Although hot water cools down at a faster rate than cold water, it also has to undergo a larger temperature change. As it cools down, what happens to the rate at which it continues to cool down?
Explain how a mercury thermometer works. A mercury thermometer breaks open and loses its mercury while the thermometer is at a temperature of 20°C. You refill the thermometer with colored ethanol to a level of 20°C. a. At a temperature of 10°C, will the thermometer read a value below, above, or exactly 10°C? Explain. b. At a temperature of 30°C, will the thermometer read a value below, above, or exactly 30°C? Explain.

Einstein and Lorentz, being avid tennis players, play a fast-paced game on a court where they stand 20.0 m from each other. Being very skilled players, they play without a net. The tennis ball has mass 0.0580 kg. You can ignore gravity and assume that the ball travels parallel to the ground as it travels between the two players. Unless otherwise specified, all measurements are made by the two men. Lorentz serves the ball at 80m/s. Einstein slams a return at 1.8 x 10^8 m/s Question: Presuming the force that Einstein impacted to the ball was constant and done over two centimeters, what was this force?

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.84 m and the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is 0.23 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from its equilibrium position by an angle of 9.05° and released from rest. Assume that friction can be neglected and that the resulting oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion.

In the homework, you were asked to calculate the minimum height
needed for a roller coaster car to just barely make a circular
loop-the-loop. Instead, suppose a roller coaster designer wants the
riders to feel their seats pushing back on them with a force equal
to their weight when the car is at the inside, top of the loop.
What height h should the car be released from if this condition is
to be met? Express your answer in terms of R. Ignore
friction.
a. After drawing a free body diagram for a person in the car when
the car is at the inside, top of the loop, determine a constraint
equation on the square of the speed when the car is at that
position. b. Apply conservation of energy to determine the
necessary, minimum height h. Express your answer in terms of the
radius R of the loop.
