The IORE electric locomotives are some of the most powerful in the world. The locomotives, working in pairs, weigh 180 tons each. They can pull up to 68 iron-ore wagons weighing 120 tons each. The wagons are coupled together using SA-3 couplers that were designed in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

Now let’s consider a projectile problem in which the initial velocity is specified in terms of a magnitude and an angle. Suppose a home-run baseball is hit with an initial speed V0= 37.0 m/s V0= 37.0 m/s at an initial angle θ0=53.1∘θ0=53.1∘. (a) Find the ball’s position, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, when t= 2.00 s t= 2.00 s. (b) Find the time the ball reaches the highest point of its flight, and find its height H at that point. (c) Find the horizontal range R (the horizontal distance from the starting point to the point where the ball hits the ground).
Express your answer in meters to three significant figures.
A) If the ball could continue to travel below its original level (through an appropriately shaped hole in the ground), then negative values of y corresponding to times greater than 6.04 s would be possible. Compute the x-component of the ball's position 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
B) Compute the y-component of the ball's position 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
C) Compute the x-component of the ball's velocity 7.40 s after the start of its flight.
D) Compute the y-component of the ball's velocity 7.40 s after the start of its flight.

b. Compare what happens to potential energy, kinetic energy, and total energy as the skater moves up and down the track. What general statement can you make about the relationship between potential and kinetic energy?
c. Notice that the bar entitled “Thermal” energy does not deviate from zero. This represents an energy that is transformed into "heat" energy. What must be true of this skate park for this to remain at zero?
d. Vary the skater's Mass with the slider on the right while the simulation is running. Describe the similarities and differences that changing the mass has on the bar graphs.
e. Click on the Friction tab at the bottom and choose the parabola track. Place the skater at the top. Examine the bar graphs as the skater oscillates back and forth. What is happening to the energies present? Explain how you know that energy is still being conserved.
f. Run the simulation as in part “e” until the skater comes to a stop. What form did the skater’s initial energy end up as?
Use the above graphs to answer the questions below. a. Estimate roughly where was he located at the times listed below:
• zero seconds? ___________________
• 6.8 seconds? __________________
• 8.1 seconds? _________________
• 5.3 seconds? _________________
b. If his maximum height is 4 m (measured from the bottom of the track), what is his height at the times below
• zero seconds? ___________________
• 6.8 seconds? __________________
• 8.1 seconds? _________________
• 5.3 seconds? __________________
Examine the kinetic energy curve on the graph above. Given that his mass was 75kg calculate his speed at the times below using Ek = ½mv2 .
Speed at zero seconds: show any work below v0 = ______________ m/s
Speed at 6.8 seconds: show any work below v0 = ______________ m/s
Speed at 8.1 seconds: show any work below v0 = ______________ m/s
Speed at 5.3 seconds: show any work below v0 = ______________ m/s
Choose the Friction tab (bottom of screen) and select the half-pipe track. Now select on Grid. This will provide a scale for you to measure heights in meters. You may assume that the mass of the default skater is 75kg. Run the simulation and sketch the Energy vs time graphs below. You know the shapes of these from above, you simply need to determine the transition times (period of motion). Use a stopwatch to get a rough idea. Be sure to include a legend to represent your different energy curves.

Question 1 a. An engineer designing an electron microscope wants to ensure that the final instrument can resolve features separated by 10-9 m and therefore decides that the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons should be 50 times shorter, i.e. 2 x 10-11 m.
