The figure shows two parallel nonconducting rings with their central axes along a common line. Ring 1 has uniform charge q₁ and radius R; ring 2 has uniform charge q₂ and the same radius R. The rings are separated by a distance 3.00R. The ratio of the electric field magnitudes of Ring 1 and Ring 2 at point P on the common line is 1.59. What is the ratio of charge magnitudes q₁/q₂?

A bumper car with mass m₁ = 115 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v₁ = 4.8 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m₂ = 95 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v₂ = -3.8 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless.

1. What is the velocity of the center of mass of the system?

2. What is the initial velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame?

3. What is the final velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame?

4. What is the final velocity of car 1 in the ground (original) reference frame?

5. What is the final velocity of car 2 in the ground (original) reference frame?

6. In a new (inelastic) collision, the same two bumper cars with the same initial velocities now latch together as they collide.

What is the final speed of the two bumper cars after the collision?

An unpolarized beam of light is incident on a pair of polarizing filters. The first filter set to polarize in the vertical direction and the second filter is set to polarize 38° from vertical. What is the intensity of the light beam after the second filter relative to the original beam?

A 679-kg elevator starts from rest and moves upward for 3.30 s with constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed, 1.63 m/s. (a) What is the average power of the elevator motor during this period? (b) How does this amount of power compare with its power during an upright trip with constant speed?

Determine the number of combined states, in the form of total |s m s >, for the combination of four spin ½ particles.

Do NOT determine the coefficients in the composite states.

Hint: make two combinations of spin - ½ particles, one for spins 1 and 2, and one for spins 3 and 4, and combine those

Smarty McGuy intends to charge the parallel plate capacitor inside his intergalactic Ford Pinto (built by Doc Dre) with a lightning strike of 26x10³ amps. Doc Dre's capacitor specifications are listed below:

The distance between the capacitor plates is 5 microns

The surface area of the capacitor plates is 3,844 cm²

There is a dielectric between the capacitor plates

What is the minimum dielectric constant of the material between the plates needed to store all the charge from the lightning assuming that the lightning strike lasts for 6x10^-6 seconds and provides 1.21 Gigawatts of power? Assume the dielectric doesn't reach its breakdown voltage.

(a) Name 4 major components of a Gamma camera. Briefly explain the function of each component.
Also, describe the advantages and disadvantages of using “thin” scintillating crystal.

(b) In an experiment with 51.80 MBq 99mTc, 5.88×105 counts are measured in 2 minutes. According to the manufacturer the sensitivity is 202 cnts/(min⋅μCi) (American manufacturers still use Ci instead of Bq, 1μCi = 37 kBq). What is the difference between the sensitivity of the measurement and the factory specification?

(c) in a NM scan, we use a specific contrast agent with half-life of 2h and emitted gamma radiation with wavelength of the 8.79x0-12 m. We image the patient immediately after the injection and the scan takes 20 minutes. Injecting 1 mCi, the acquired NM images have signal-to-noise ratio of 40. Calculate the SNR if we inject the patient with 3 mCi and scan him for 60 minutes.

Explain two reasons behind the commercial failure of Low Earth Orbit satellite mobile communications companies (such as Iridium).

An object with total mass m_total = 14.8 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m₁ = 4.8 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of θ₁ = 22° above the –x axis with a speed of v₁ = 27.6 m/s. A second piece with mass m₂ = 5.1 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ₂ = 27° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v₂ = 20.5 m/s.
