The rate at which a nebular cloud rotates increases as the cloud collapses to form systems of stars and planets. Consider a small segment of a nebular cloud with a mass ? of 1.9×1027 kg, tangential velocity ?initial equal to 6.8 km s−1 located at an orbital distance ?initial=2.5×104 km. After the cloud collapses, the same small segment is located at an orbital distance ?final=3.2×103 km. Calculate the change of the rotational velocity, Δ?, for the cloud segment, assuming perfectly circular orbits. Perform your work and report your solution using two significant figures.

You decide to play a trick on your friend by dropping a raw egg onto their head

The egg is dropped (no initial velocity) from a height of 15 meters. Your goal is to have the y position of the egg exactly match the height of your friend at the same moment he steps onto the red x you painted on the ground (not suspicious at all). Your friend has a height of 66.929 inches and is walking toward the building at a constant speed of 4.429 feet/second.

-Convert your friend's height into proper units. h = meters

-Convert your friend's speed into proper units. vfriend = meters/second

-Determine the time at which the egg's y-location equals your friends height. t(yegg=h) = seconds

-Determine the starting position of your friend at the time you dropped the egg (enter a positive number). d = meters

Please solve and explain all parts

Many people assume that it is impossible for a car to turn in the absence of friction. If the roadway is banked at exactly the right angle, a car at exactly the right velocity will be put into uniform circular motion and execute the turn successfully.

Here the department of transportation has constructed a roadway that will cause your car to turn in a circle of radius R = 175.00 meters. The roadway itself is banked with an angle of θ = 20.0 degrees. Assume that your car has a mass of m = 950 kg.

Calculate all the following:

The normal force of the road on your car, N

The velocity of your car, v m/s

The time required to make a 90 degree turn, s

An ant, crazed by the Sun on a hot Texas afternoon, darts over an xy plane scratched in the dirt. The x and y components of four consecutive darts are the following, all in centimeters: (30.0, 38.0), (bx, -68.0), (-23.0, cy), (-83.0, -68.0).The overall displacement of the four darts has the xy components (-140, -19.0).What are (a) bx and (b) cy? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) angle (counterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement?

In the famous Millikan oil-drop experiment, tiny spherical droplets of oil are sprayed into a uniform vertical electric field. The drops get a very small charge (just a few electrons) due to friction with the atomizer as they are sprayed. The field is adjusted until the drop (which is viewed through a small telescope) is just balanced against gravity, and therefore remains stationary. Using the measured value of the electric field, we can calculate the charge on the drop and from this calculate the charge e of the electron. In one apparatus, the drops are 1.40 mm in diameter and the oil has a density of 0.850 g/cm3.

a) If the drops are negatively charged, which way should the electric field point to hold them stationary? Up or down? Please explain your reasoning. (1)

b) If a certain drop contains four excess electrons, what magnitude electric field is needed to hold it stationary? Please express your answer to three significant figures. (2)

c) If you measure a balancing field of 5183 N/C for another drop. How many excess electrons are on this drop? Please express your answer as an integer. (2)

Consider a wire of uniform density and mass M shaped into a quarter circle of radius R.The wire is located in the xy plane, with the origin at the focus of the quarter circle (i.e at the center of the circle of which the wire is part). Choose the x axis parallel to the line that connects the endpoints of the wire, so that the y-z plane is a plane of reflection symmetry for the wire. This means that the ends of the wire are located at R/sqrt(2)*(1,1,0) and R/sqrt(2)*(-1,1,0) and that the wire can be described by the equation x^2 + y^2 = R^2.

(a) Calculate the moment of inertia tensor for rotation about the origin. Also calculate the location of the center of mass for the wire.

(b) Using the results from (a) and the generalized parallel axis theorem, find the moment of inertia tensor for rotation about one of the wire ends, with the x-axis along the line connecting the two ends of the wire. Hint: You will need to apply the theorem twice.
