A UPS worker places a 5.00 kg package at the top of a smooth ramp 2.60 m above the horizontal and gives the package an initial velocity of 4.25 m/s as it slides down the ramp. After it reaches to the bottom of the packaging ramp, the box slides across a smooth floor until it compresses a spring with a stiffness of 3830 N/m.
a) How much will the spring be compressed before the block comes to a stop?
b) If the spring can do work at a rate of 385 W, how long will it take for the spring to be compressed by the package?

An object is placed 22.7 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -13.0 cm). A concave mirror (f = 9.99 cm) is placed 29.9 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?

A 12,000 N car starts from rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m (see figure). It then moves across a level surface and collides with a light spring-loaded guardrail.
(a) Neglecting any losses due to friction, and ignoring the
rotational kinetic energy of the wheels, find the maximum distance
the spring is compressed. Assume a spring constant of
1.2 106 N/m.
? m
(b) Calculate the maximum acceleration of the car after contact
with the spring, assuming no frictional losses.
? m/s2
(c) If the spring is compressed by only 0.30 m, find the change in
the mechanical energy due to friction.
? J

In the figure, we must apply a force of magnitude 82.0 N to hold the block stationary at x = -2.00 cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +7.00 J of work on the spring–block system; the block is then again stationary. What are the block's positions? ((a) positive and (b) negative)

A proton in an atomic nucleus is bound to other protons and neutrons in the nucleus by the strong nuclear force when it is within approximately 3 fm of another particle. What is the approximate kinetic energy of a proton that is localized to such a region? What would be the corresponding energy of an electron localized to within such a region? Compare this to typical beta energies for beta decay. Is a release of electrons

A 50 kg teenager just got his license and is driving his brand new Escalade (mass 1100 kg) at 30 m/s. As he is texting and driving, he crashes into a stopped minivan, which has a mass of 980 kg. Since he is not wearing a seatbelt, he flies out of the window after the crash. If the Escalade and Minivan move together with a speed of 13 m/s after the perfectly elastic crash, with what velocity is the teenage (former) driver now flying through the air?

In this section we will study the problem of gender-wage discrimination. It is often argued that women are paid less than equally qualified men to do the same job. This is also true in academia. The University of Calgary administrators are trying to determine the gender earnings gap in order to `compensate' women who are underpaid. In the empirical analyses that follow, the following variables are defined as:
Y - Log earnings
F - female indicator
Age - age of individual
Assoc - indicator for Associate Professor Rank
Full - indicator for Full Professor Rank
ϴf- faculty/college indicators (e.g., Social Science, Engineering, Business...)
ϴd- department indicators (e.g., economics, history...)
E[Yi|Fi = 1] - E[Yi|Fi = 0]
Do you think that this identified the causal effect of being a woman on wage? Explain.
Yi = β0 + αFi + εi (1)
What variation in the data is being used to identify the male-female difference in earnings?
Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + εi (2)
How does adding age to the regression change the source of variation used in identifying the male-
female wage differential?
If female professors are, on average, younger than male professors, how would you expect the estimate of α to change from equation (1)?
Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + γ1Associ + γ1Fulli + εi (3)
Now what variation in the data is used to identify the male-female difference in earnings? How would the estimate of α change relative to equation (1) if females are over-represented in the assistant professor rank?
Yi = β0 + αFi + βAgei + γ1Associ + γ1Fulli + ϴf + εi (4)
Now what variation in the data is used to identify the male-female difference in earnings? How would the estimate of α change relative to question 2 if females are over-represented in the higher paying faculties/colleges? What is the difference between running this regression and running regression 3 separately for each faculty/college?

Monica and Dylan are doing a “thought experiment”. They are imagining that Monica is in a space ship orbiting a black hole, just outside the event horizon, while Dylan is in a space ship 1 light year away. Monica and Dylan each send each other a signal using a laser. From each of their perspectives, their laser flashes once a second. To Dylan, is Monica’s laser flashing faster, slower or at the same rate (once a second)? Similarly, how fast does Dylan’s laser appear to be flashing from Monica’s point of view?
