An electric car is designed to run on a bank of batteries with a total potential difference of 29 V and a total energy storage of 2.2×107 J. If the electric motor draws 6.8 kW, what is the current delivered to the motor? Answer in units of A.
(part 2 of 2) If the electric motor draws 6.8 kW as the car moves at a steady speed of 47.0 m/s, how far will the car travel before it is “out of juice”? Answer in units of m.

You have set up an experiment where two Stern-Gerlach analyzers sequentially measure spin along the z-axis. The first analyzer allows particles with spin up along z to pass. The second analyzer allows particles with spin down along z to pass. Between the two analyzers is a magnetic field aligned along +x. Your experiment sends identical spin-1/2 particles at speed v along the y-axis through the analyzers, which are separated by a distance Δy. What is the smallest distance Δy that will transmit 50% of the particles passed through the first analyzer through the second analyzer?

While vacationing in the mountains you do some hiking. In the
morning, your displacement is S⃗ morning= (2200 m , east)
+ (4000 m north) + (200 m , vertical). After lunch, your
displacement is S⃗ afternoon= (1600 m , west) + (2900 m ,
north) - (300 m , vertical).
Part A
At the end of the hike, how much higher or lower are you compared to your starting point?
Express your answer with the appropriate units
Part B
What is the magnitude of your net displacement for the day?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

7. The University Skydiving Club has asked you to plan a stunt for an air show. In this stunt, two skydivers will step out of opposite sides of a stationary hotair balloon 1500 meters above the ground. The second skydiver will leave the balloon 20 seconds after the first skydiver but you want them both to land on the ground at the same time. The show is planned for a day with no wind so assume that all motion isvertical. To get a rough idea of the situation, assume that a skydiver will fall with a constant acceleration of 9.80 m/s2before the parachute opens. As soon as the parachute is opened, the skydiver falls with a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s. If the first skydiver waits 3 seconds after stepping out of the balloon before opening her parachute, how long must the second skydiver wait after leaving the balloon before opening his parachute?

A 65kg skater travelling northward at 3.8m/s accidentally collides with a 75kg skater travelling west at 2.4m/s. They hold on to each other while attempting to regain balance and continue moving in that direction after the collision. What total speed and direction (find angle) do the skaters move together after the collision?

The drive propeller of a ship starts from rest and accelerates at 2.99 x 10-3 rad/s2 for 2.86 x 103 s. For the next 1.90 x 103 s the propeller rotates at a constant angular speed. Then it decelerates at 2.61 x 10-3 rad/s2 until it slows (without reversing direction) to an angular speed of 2.31 rad/s. Find the total angular displacement of the propeller.

(1)Sphere A is attached to the ceiling of an elevator by a string. A second sphere is attached to the first one by a second string. Both strings are of negligible mass. Here m1 = m2 = m = 3.57 kg.
(a) The elevator starts from rest and accelerates downward witha= 1.35 m/s2. What are the tensions in the two strings in newtons?
(b) If the elevator moves upward instead with the same acceleration what will be the tension in the two strings in newtons?
(c)The maximum tension the two strings can withstand is 92.2 N. What maximum upward acceleration (in m/s2) can the elevator have without having one of the strings break?
