1. A muon and an antimuon are moving in opposite directions with velocities of -0.6 c and 0.6 c, respectively. When they collide, they can annihilate each other and turn into two photons. Both muon and antimuon have a mass of 105.66 MeV/c2. What is the total energy before the collision?

2. What is the energy of each photon?

3. What is the wavelength of each photon?

PLEASE GIVE MORE THAN YES OR NO ANSWERS

a) Does the pitch of the noise made by striking a bottle get higher or lower as you fill the bottle with water?

b) Does the pitch made by blowing across the top of the bottle go up or down as you fill the bottle?

c) Why is there a difference between these two noises? In your answer, comment on the source of the noise in each case (i.e. What is vibrating?).

d) Using what you know about harmonics and resonance, explain how different pitches are created when you blow across the bottle opening with different liquid levels.

e) What wave property allows you to hear noise through a bottle held up to your ear when someone blows across the top of a bottle across the room, and how does the sound transmit from one bottle to the other? Will the pitch sound the same as the one made by the person across the room?

A 8.6-kg cube of copper (cCu = 386 J/kg-K) has a temperature of 750 K. It is dropped into a bucket containing 5.1 kg of water (cwater = 4186 J/kg-K) with an initial temperature of 293 K. 1) What is the final temperature of the water-and-cube system? K Submit 2) If the temperature of the copper was instead 1350 K, it would cause the water to boil. How much liquid water (latent heat of vaporization = 2.26 × 106 J/kg) will be left after the water stops boiling? kg Submit 3) Let's try this again, but this time add just the minimum amount of water needed to lower the temperature of the copper to 373 K. In other words, we start with the cube of copper at 750 K and we only add enough water at 293 K so that it completely evaporates by the time the copper reaches 373 K. Assume the resulting water vapor remaining at 373 K. How much water do we need ?

Assume a planet is a uniform sphere of radius R that (somehow) has a narrow radial tunnel through its center. Also assume we can position an apple anywhere along the tunnel or outside the sphere. Let FR be the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple when it is located at the planets surface. How far from the surface is there a point where the magnitude of the gravitational force on the apple is FR/2 if we move the apple (a) away from the planet and (b) into the tunnel? Express you answer in terms of the variables given.

A mass 1 0.400 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless track height one=2.90 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with a 1.00 kg mass that is initially at rest on the table. Assume a perfectly inelastic equation.

a) Determine the speed of the two masses just after the collision. b. How far away from the bottom of the table does the 1.00 kg mass land, given that the table is 1.60 m high?

Two blocks of mass mA = 5kg and mB = 7kg are connected by a cable of negligible mass on a pulley. The

pulley rotates on a frictionless axle, the cable doesn’t slip on the pulley, it has a radius r = 4cm and a mass mp = 10g. Block A is on an inclined ramp at an angle θ = 30◦ above the ground and there is a coefficent of

friction μk = 0.12 between block A and the ramp. Block B sits a distance d = 3m from the ground. The system is released from rest and block B descends. Calculate the speed of block B at the instant just before it hits the ground
