A car accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a speed of 22.0 m/s in 9.00 s. If the diameter of the tire is 58.0 cm, find (a) the number of revolutions the tire makes during the motion, assuming that no slipping occurs. (b) What is the final angular speed of a tire in revolutions per second?
Answer: (54.3 rev, 12.1 rev/s) --> please show me how to get this answer!

1.The terms H II and H2 are both pronounced “H two.” What is the difference in meaning of those two terms? Can there be such a thing as H III?
2. Why do nebulae near hot stars look red? Why do dust clouds near stars usually look blue?
3. Describe the characteristics of the various kinds of interstellar gas (HII regions, neutral hydrogen clouds, ultra-hot gas clouds, and molecular clouds).
4. Describe how the 21-cm line of hydrogen is formed. Why is this line such an important tool for understanding the interstellar medium?
5. Describe the properties of the dust grains found in the space between stars.
6. Why do molecules, including H2 and more complex organic molecules, only form inside dark clouds? Why don’t they fill all interstellar space?
7. Why can’t we use visible light telescopes to study molecular clouds where stars and planets form? Why do infrared or radio telescopes work better?
8. The 21-cm line can be used not just to find out where hydrogen is located in the sky, but also to determine how fast it is moving toward or away from us. Describe how this might work.
9. Astronomers recently detected light emitted by a supernova that was originally observed in 1572, just reaching Earth now. This light was reflected off a dust cloud; astronomers call such a reflected light a “light echo” (just like reflected sound is called an echo). How would you expect the spectrum of the light echo to compare to that of the original supernova?
10. We can detect 21-cm emission from other galaxies as well as from our own Galaxy. However, 21-cm emission from our own Galaxy fills most of the sky, so we usually see both at once. How can we distinguish the extragalactic 21-cm emission from that arising in our own Galaxy? (Hint: Other galaxies are generally moving relative to the Milky Way.)

Cart 1 amd 2 are now moving toward each other when they collide and stick together. Cart 1 has a mass of 500g (.5kg) and is travelling at a speed of 0.30m/s to the right. Cart 2 has a mass of 350g (.35kg) and is travelling at a speed of 0.55m/s to the left.
A) What is their velocity (speed and direction) after the collision?
B) What % of the initial KE is lost in the collision?
Please show all work, thank you!

We assumed that the spring is ideal. In reality, as you stretch and compress the spring, frictional forces of the spring come into play. Explain how the frictional forces of the spring would or could affect your measurements.

A small loop of copper wire is inside and held perpindicular to a large, uniform magnetic field. You move the loop in circles and vary the speed. What do you observe?
a. The faster the speed, the greater the current. |
|
b. As you decrease the radius of the path of the loop in the field the current increases. |
|
c. As you increase speed, the current decreases. |
|
d. Nothing. No current is induced. |

As a quarterback throws the football, it leaves his hand at a height of h and at an initial speed of v0 at an angle θ above the horizontal. The receiver can’t get to the football in time and it falls onto the field. What is the ball’s speed as it hits the ground? Solve this problem in two ways: (a) using kinematics, explicitly calculating the trajectory the ball takes (b) using conservation of (kinetic + potential) energy

Consider an ideal massless rubber-band which has an upstretched ‘l’. A roll of 50 pennies of total mass mpis attached to the rubber band. The new stretched length of the rubber band with the pennies hanging down from the end of the rubber band is 1:
Assume the rubber band satisfies Hookes’ law when it is stretched, what is the spring constant of the rubber band?
A small nut with mass with the mass mnis then attached to the rubber band and both are rotated by a motor at an unknown constant frequency f. The rubber band is stretched to a length ‘l’.
Find an expression for the frequency
How long does it take for the nut to complete one rotation?
What is the angular frequency of the nut?

9.) The 17 kg shopping cart carries a 73 kg child. The shopping cart wheel base b = 480 mm and its vertical CG is symmetrically located 580 mm above the floor surface. The child remains centered symmetrically between the cart wheels with her vertical CG located 750 mm above the floor surface. Determine (a) location above the floor of the vertical CG of the cart + child in mm and (b) the tipping angle in degrees.

A transmission wire oriented parallel to the x-axis carries a current of 200 A flowing along the +x direction. A second transmission wire also oriented parallel to the x-axis but lying at a perpendicular distance of 1.30 m below the first wire carries a current of 215 A flowing along the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the total magnetic field at a point 2.3 m directly below a point midway between the two wires?
What is the direction of the net magnetic field?
