After a heavy snowfall, Annie wants to drag a sled loaded with toys across her level backyard floor, by pulling a rope at an angle of 26 degrees up from the snowy floor. When Annie increases her pull to 25N, the sled starts. Two days later, all the snow has melted leaving the concrete exposed. Annie pulls on the loaded sled, but now it has become harder to get it to start. Annie does not want to change the pulling angle, because it is most natural for her. Answer the 3 parts:
a) Draw a free body diagram for Annie's sled, labeling forces
b) The coefficients of static friction for snow and concrete are 0.15 and 0.95, respectively. How large is the normal force of the floor in the two cases (snow and concrete)?
c) How much mass does Annie need to remove from the sled, to be able to start the sled on the concrete by pulling just as hard as she did earlier on the snow?

Estimate the number of Solar neutrinos passing through a detector on the Earth in one second. Assume that the detector has a surface area of 1.0 square meters and is aligned so that it faces directly towards the centre of the Sun. Assume that every neutrino travels without any change (i.e. none are absorbed or converted to a different particle). Also assume that the energy carried out of the Sun by the neutrinos is negligible

A) Plot the first five particle in a box wavefunctions for an electron in a 10 Å box
(starting at n = 1). Choose two of these and plot their probability density. Offer a brief
interpretation.
B) (10) Calculate the probability you would find the electron in the right-hand . of the
box (right-hand meaning larger values of the spatial variable) if the electron were
described by your fifth wavefunction (highest energy where n = 5). Calculate the
probability you would find the electron in the left-hand 1/4 of the box
C) (15) Suppose your electron were described as an equal superposition of the first and
second wavefunctions. Normalize this new function and then calculate the probability
you would find the electron in the right-hand 1/4 of the box. Calculate the probability
you would find the electron in the left-hand 1/4 of the box.

1. A pendulum with a length of 30 cm swings back and forth as shown in the figure above, at each turn around point it stops and it starts accelerating until reaching maxium velocity at the botton (equilibrium position), at which point it starts slowing down. If the maximum angle is 11 degrees, what is its maximum velocity in m/s? (Use g = 10.0 m/s2 and assume there is no friction).
2. A car (mass 955 kg) is traveling with a speed of 48 mi/h. A bug (mass 5 mg) is traveling in the opposite direction. What speed would the bug need in (millions of mi/h) in order to slow down the truck by 4 mile per hour in a big bug splash (i.e., final speed 44 mi/h)?

8. A cart slides down an inclined plane with the angle of the incline θ starting from rest. At the moment the cart begins to move, a ball is launched from the cart perpendicularly to the incline.
(a) Choosing an x-y-coordinate system with the x-axis along the incline and the origin at the initial location of the cart, derive the equation of the trajectory that the ball assumes from the perspective of this coordinate system.
(b) Determine where the maximum of this trajectory is located and at what location along the chosen x-axis the ball will fall back into the cart.
(c) Sketch the trajectory in this coordinate system. What does the trajectory look like in an x-y-coordinate system where the x-axis is horizontal?
9. We discussed in lecture that from the perspective of a viewer in the cart sliding down the incline, the ball will always be seen as hovering above the cart, ultimately falling back into the cart. Describe what a viewer sitting in the classroom would see. Are the cart and the ball still advancing in lockstep from that perspective? To help you put this into numbers, calculate where the ball and cart will be located (x- and y-coordinate of each)
(a) at a time equal to the flight time to the peak of the parabolic trajectory and
(b) at twice the flight time to the peak. We choose an angle of the incline of 30o and v .

A spring is mounted over an air track in such a way that the one end of the spring is fixed and the other is connected to a spring scale. When the spring is stretched to 0.01 m a force of 1 N is registered on the spring scale. The spring is relaxed and a glider of 0.43 kg (resting on the air track) is connected to it. The glider-spring system is then pulled to the right through a distance of 0.01 m. Calculate the following:
(a) The spring constant k. (1 mark)
(b) The period of motion. (1 mark)
(c) The angular frequency. (1 mark)
(d) Calculate the amplitude and phase angle of the spring-glider system, if the initial velocity and position of the glider is 0.3 m/s and 0.72 m, respectively.
(e) Utilize all the information already calculated and set up equations for the displacement, velocity and acceleration as function of time.

If you go to a crafts store and buy “glitter beads,” you get a little plastic tube of tiny, metal covered glass or plastic beads. On a nice dry day, you can get a charge on the beads, and some of them will “hover” in the air inside the tube, maybe 4 mm apart from each other. It’s pretty cool.
A. To make it even more cool, let’s estimate how much charge there is on a bead. For that, let’s just assume there are only two beads, one under the other, and it’s the electrostatic repulsion that’s holding the top bead up. If the beads are 4 mm apart, they each have a mass of about 0.1 grams, and we can assume they have the same charge, about how much is that charge?
B. If the amount of the charge on the beads were to drop by 1/2, what would you expect to happen to the distance between them?
C. And how much of a difference in the mass of a bead does that amount of accumulated charge make? That is, how much more or less mass does a charged bead have than a neutral one?
