Revised experiment setup ty I-v A student wants to find out how much energy is lost by the string rubbing at the edge of the table when the system moves by 30cm. They come up with two methods to make this measurement: Method 1: Calculate work done on the string by the table, Wedge=(T1−T2)xWedge=(T1−T2)x Where T1 and T2 are the magnitude of the force measured by the top and hanging IOLabs, respectively. x is the distance traveled by the IOLabs, measured using the wheel of the top IOLab. Method 2: Conservation of energy, Wedge=12(m1+m2)v2f−m2gxWedge=12(m1+m2)vf2−m2gx Where m1 and m2 are the top and hanging masses, respectively, and vf is measured using the wheel of the top IOLab. x is the distance traveled by the IOLabs, measured using the wheel of the top IOLab. The student does four trials of their experiment and makes the following measurements: Trial T1 (Newtons) T2 (Newtons) vf (m/s) 1 1.059 1.571 1.698 2 1.088 1.707 1.718 3 1.082 1.695 1.678 4 1.047 1.827 1.698 Additionally, the student determines the displacement (x) was 30cm, m1 is 202g and m2 is 351g. 1) Using method 1, what is the average measurement of the work done by the edge of the table on the string? (This value is NOT a magnitude). Joules 2) What is the size of the uncertainty on the average measurement from Method 1? You should do your calculation using the method described in the class handout on uncertainty. Joules 3) Using method 2, what is the average measurement of the work done by the edge of the table on the string? (This value is NOT a magnitude). Joules 4) What is the size of the uncertainty on the average measurement from Method 2? Joules 5) Compare the results from the two methods. What should you conclude about them? a) The results from the two methods disagree with each other b) The results from the two methods do not disagree with each other c) It is impossible to make a decision about these results 6) Explain how you decided if the two measurements agree or not. If they do not agree, identify a relevant assumption from the experiment that could cause the disagreement.

Sounds waves are disturbances in air molecules that move at 343 m/s. Pitch is a measure of a sounds frequency. A middle C note in music has a frequency (pitch) of 261.6 Hz.
a. If you are listening to a middle C, how many
pulses (wave crests) of
sound hit you in one minute (1 minute is exactly 60 seconds)?
b. How far apart is each wave crest (wavelength)
in a middle C note?

wavelength or
frequency change?

The air pressure in a tire sitting outside is 30 psi on a nice fall day when the temperature is about 80 F. (Assuming that the density of the air inside the tire does not change with temperature and that the air may be treated as an ideal gas), what would the tire pressure be:
A) At 32 F?
B) At 100 F?
If the recommended tire pressure is between 28 and 32 psi, do you need to do anything in either case above? If so, which and what?

Two identical objects, A and B, are thermally and mechanically isolated from the rest of the world. Their initial temperatures are TA > TB. Each object has heat capacity C (the same for both objects) which is independent of temperature. (a) Suppose the objects are placed in thermal contact and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. What is their final temperature? How much entropy is created in this process? How much work is done on the outside world in this process? (b) Instead, suppose objects A (temperature TA) and B (temperature TB < TA) are used as the high and low temperature heat reservoirs of a heat engine. The engine extracts energy from object A (lowering its temperature), does work on the outside world, and dumps waste heat to object B (raising its temperature). When the temperatures of A and B are the same, the heat engine is in the same state as it started and the process is finished. Suppose this heat engine is the most efficient heat engine possible. In other words, it performs the maximum work possible. What is the final temperature of the objects? How much entropy is created in this process? How much work is done on the outside world in this process?

A block of mass m = 2.1 kg slides down a 36 ° inclined ramp that has a height h = 3.1 m. At the bottom, it hits a block of mass M = 7.1 kg that is at rest on a horizontal surface. Assume a smooth transition at the bottom of the ramp. If the collision is elastic and friction can be ignored, determine the distance the mass m will travel up the ramp after the collision.

A.) Sunlight strikes a piece of crown glass at an angle of incidence of 31.5deg. Calculate the difference in the angle of refraction between a yellow (580 nm) and a violet (410 nm) ray within the glass. The index of refraction is n=1.523 for yellow and n=1.538 for violet light. You have to calculate the angle of refraction for both light rays (they have different indices of refraction). You are looking for the difference of these angles.
B.) The ray now travels inside the glass. What is the minimum angle of incidence at which the yellow ray can hit the surface of the glass and become there totally internally reflected and not refracted? The angle of incidence is the angle with respect to the normal. Now the beam comes from inside and wants to leave the medium. Since the index of refraction of the medium is larger than 1 (index of refraction of air) there is a critical angle at which the beam is totally internally reflected.

1. In the lab, a student has created an oscillator by hanging a weight from a spring. The student releases the oscillator from rest and uses a sensor and computer to find the equation of motion for the oscillator: x(t) = 0.13m cos (6.3 ?????? t + 0.14 radians)The student ? then replaces the weight with a weight whose mass, m is twice as large as that of the original weight. The student again releases the weight from rest from the same displacement from equilibrium. What would the new equation of motion be for the oscillator?
