A box of textbooks of mass 25.0 kg rests on a loading ramp that makes an angle α with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.23 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.36.
A) As the angle α is increased, find the minimum angle at which the box starts to slip. Express your answer using two significant figures.
B) At this angle, find the acceleration once the box has begun to move. Express your answer using two significant figures.
C) At this angle, how fast will the box be moving after it has slid a distance 4.9 m along the loading ramp? Express your answer using two significant figures.

3. (15 pts) Consider a second-order dynamic system composed of the classical spring, mass, and damper, with spring constant k , mass m , and damping constant c .
a) Generate expressions for the undamped natural frequency ω n and
the damping ratio ζ in
terms of k , m , and c .
b) If the spring constant k is increased, but m and c are
unchanged, predict whether ω n will increase, decrease, or remain
the same. Justify.
c) If the spring constant k is increased, but m and c are
unchanged, predict whether ζ will increase, decrease, or remain the
same. Justify.

Please answer and provide an explanation with the necessary formula. Thank you in advance,
1. A 200kg block slides down a rough inclined plane of length 2.5m inclined at 20 degrees. At the bottom of the plane the speed of the block is 3.15 m/s. Initially the block was at rest. What is the change in the internal energy of the system? What is the frictional force?
2. A sled at rest in snow seated with two children with total mass of 50kg. You pull the sled with a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.150 and the tension in the rope is 150 N. What is the speed of the sled after it has moved through 3.5m?
3. Oxygen gas has a molar mass of 32 g/mol and carbon dioxide has a molar mass of 44.05 g/mol. What is the rms speed of the oxygen molecule at 300? If the carbon dioxide molecule has the same rms speed as oxygen molecule, what is the temperature of the carbon dioxide molecule?
4. A U tube contains a liquid of unknown density. An oil of density 800 kg m/s is poured into the tube in one of the arm and the oil column is 12 cm high. The air interface is 5 cm above the liquid level in the other. What is the density of the liquid?
5. A uniform ladder of weigh 75 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder is 2.5m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is 5m. A fireman of weigh 700 N is on the ladder at a distance of 4m along the ladder. What is the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the floor and ladder?

n = 2.35 mol of Hydrogen gas is initially at T = 322 K temperature and pi = 2.86×105 Pa pressure. The gas is then reversibly and isothermally compressed until its pressure reaches pf = 8.33×105 Pa. What is the volume of the gas at the end of the compression process?
How much work did the external force perform?
How much heat did the gas emit?
How much entropy did the gas emit?
What would be the temperature of the gas, if the gas was allowed to adiabatically expand back to its original pressure?

b. Determine the impulse imparted to the 98.0 kg player. Show a complete vector diagram and label your answer.
c. From what you know about Impulse, what would the Impulse for the 87.0 kg player be? Provide both magnitude and direction. (you need not calculate if you understand the concepts)
d. State what you found out for questions b and c above and justify your results using I = Favg t. State any of the appropriate Newton’s Laws to help explain. No calculations are necessary. Simply justify what you found out from (b) and (c) by using the other equation for Impulse, I = Favg t.

Part I: Light Beams
In Part I(b), as you moved the focal point from 50 to 200 on the
optical axis, the lens ---Select--- became fatter did
not change shape became slimmer .
In Part I(c), the reason the colored rays are dispersed so that you
can see individual colored rays is because
the ---Select--- index of polarization index of
reflection index of refraction is different for each color of the
spectrum.
This phenomenon is referred to as ---Select--- immersion
dispersion specular reflection of light.
