(a) Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density 0.870 g/cm3) falling through air, if its radius is 8.00 cm and its drag coefficient is 0.500. (The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.)

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m/s

(b) From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed in the absence of air resistance?

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

A large wrecking ball is used to destroy an old building. The operator uses a maximum angle of 6.0 ◦ . When the ball is at maximum amplitude, he starts timing the motion. He realizes that a full cycle and find that it lasts 7 s.

a. How long is the chain that holds the wrecking ball?

b. Find s(t) or θ(t).

c. Find θ such that the potential and kinetic energies are equal.

d. Had the operator used the same chain on the moon, would you expect the period to be larger or shorter? Explain.

e. The engineer in charge of the site thinks each cycle takes too long, so he asks the operator to use a lighter ball. What do you think about this?

Two metal rods, one silver and the other gold, are attached to each other. The free end of the silver rod is connected to a steam chamber, with a temperature of 100°C, and the free end of the gold rod to an ice water bath, with a temperature of 0°C. The rods are 5.0 cm long and have a square cross-section, 2.0 cm on a side. How much heat flows through the two rods in 60 s? The thermal conductivity of silver is 417 W/(m·K), and that of gold is 291 W/(m·K). No heat is exchanged between the rods and the surroundings, except at the ends.

Question 4

An interesting topic in fluid mechanics is Bernoulli's equation, which relates pressures and velocities of a fluid with the density of rho at different heights, eq. 13.12. It has applications in the airspace. It can be used to measure flow speed in a pipe with a device named the Venturi meter (see figure 13.34). If the cross sections are 21 cm2 and 13 cm2, and the height difference resulted from the pressure difference is 0.2 m, calculate the speed of the flow in the pipe, v1 . Give your answer to one decimal point. Your Answer:Question 4 options:

When vertically falling sand lands in a horizontally moving cart, the cart slows. Ignoring friction, give two reasons for this, one in terms of a horizontal force acting on the cart and one in terms of momentum conservation.

b) In a movie, the hero jumps straight down from a bridge onto a small boat that continues to move forward with no change in velocity. What physics is being violated here?

The spinning Earth is slowing down. Our days are getting longer. The effect is real, and so we have to add "leap seconds" to our clocks every 100 years to account for it. What is causing this? Also, why is the distance between the Earth and Moon increasing? Use physical concepts.

Why are the following statements false?

The potential energy of a system of interacting particles equals the sum of the potential energies of the individual particles.

The value of the integral ( - pdV) is fixed once the values of the initial and final states(1 and 2) are established.

For a closed system at rest with no fields present, the sum q+w has the same value forevery process that goes from given state 1 to given state 2.

For a constant volume process in a closed system,H=U.

Cp is a state function.

A 12.0-kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a chute that is inclined at 53.0∘53.0∘ below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the chute’s surface is 0.40.

I know hot to calculate Work for each separate force on the package. But how would you use the Work Kinetic Energy Theorem to find the package's change in kinetic energy?

Thanks!
