Imagine that you are in a car that is traveling up a bridge that is inclined at an angle of 4.0 degrees from the horizontal. The car's speed is 35.0 mi/hr (15.65 m/s). At time t = 0 you open your window and illegally drop a soda can from your rest frame over the edge of the bridge. Your height above ground level is 36.0 m.

1. How far does the can travel horizontally before hitting the ground? Neglect air resistance.
2. At what angle does the can strike the ground (in degrees)? This is the angle which the can's velocity vector makes with the horizontal just before hitting the ground.
3. What is the speed of the can just before it hits the ground?

Two containers of ideal gas with identical initial conditions experience identical temperature increases. Container A goes through the increase isobarically (with constant pressure) and container B isochorically (with constant volume).

More heat was added to container A.

More heat was added to container B.

Equal amounts of heat were added to both containers.

Any of the above relations is possible, depending on the work. 12.5 points Question 3

Say that a person is playing an amplified stringed instrument while riding on a vehicle approaching you at considerable speed. In order for the person to perform so that the music sounds correct to you, the person should

have increased the tension in the strings.

finger the strings so as to make the portions of the strings that oscillate shorter.

do either of the above, since both will have the desired effect.

do something not listed above, since neither act will have the desired effect.

  1. During the Apollo missions, astronauts traveled from the Earth to the Moon and back. When they were close to Earth, gravity accelerated them toward Earth, but when they were close to the Moon, gravity accelerated them toward the Moon. However, there is a point somewhere between the Earth and the Moon where they experienced no acceleration due to gravity.

    The Earth is 6.0×1024 kg, the Moon is 7.3×1022 kg in mass, and the two are 3.8×108 m apart. How far from Earth were the astronauts when they experienced zero acceleration due to gravity? Hint: remember that zero acceleration requires zero net force.
