Blocks A (mass 4.00 kg ) and B (mass 7.00 kg ) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block A is moving toward it at 4.00 m/s . The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head-on, so all motion before and after the collision is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of block A.
Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers?
Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum?
Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum?
Find the velocity of block A after they have moved apart?
Find the velocity of B after they have moved apart?

You shine a laser on a plastic prism made from an unknown material and measure the angles relative to the normal that the light takes both inside and outside the medium. You make a plot of sin ?inside versus sin ?outside for the plastic object and calculate the slope of best-fit line of your plot to be 0.79365 ± 0.05669. What is the index of refraction of the plastic object?
Correct Answer: 1.26 +/- 0.09

Doppler spectral line broadening is caused by the fact that the velocity of atoms or molecules relative to the observer follows a Maxwell distribution. The effect is dependent on temperature. Hence it serves as a thermometer to determine the temperature of hot gases, such as in distant stars as well as the relative motion of the light source (away or approaching) the Earth observer. Derive the distribution of the intensity of spectral line and show how the line width is related to the temperature.

1) A 1000 kg rocket travels in outer space at 5000 m/s. The rocket then separates into two sections: a 250 kg section that travels at 8000 m/s, and a 750 kg section. All of this takes place in a straight line that you can consider as your x-axis. (Do not assume kinetic energy is constant throughout this process.)
A) What is the total momentum of the system before the separation?
B) What is the total kinetic energy of the system before the separation?
C) What is the final velocity of the more massive 750 kg rocket section?
D) What is change in the system’s kinetic energy in Joules?

A very long solenoid with a circular cross section and radius r1= 1.40 cm with ns= 300 turns/cm lies inside a short coil of radius r2= 4.40 cm and Nc= 30 turns. |
If the current in the solenoid is ramped at a constant rate from zero to Is= 2.10 A over a time interval of 75.0 ms, what is the magnitude of the emf in the outer coil while the current in the solenoid is changing?
What is the mutual inductance between the solenoid and the short coil?
Now reverse the situation. If the current in the short coil is ramped up steadily from zero to Ic= 2.80 A over a time interval of 11.0 ms, what is the magnitude of the emf in the solenoid while the current in the coil is changing?
