A mass spectrometer is designed to calculate masses of
atoms. A source produces positive ions of
mass m and charge q. The ions move with a velocity v to the right,
pass through a narrow slit S1 and
enter a region between two charged plates. In this region they
experience both an electric and a
magnetic field. The electric field E is caused by the 2 charged
plates; the upper plate is (-) charged
and the lower plate is (+) charged. The magnetic field is B1 and
points out of the page. The ions
exit this region through slit S2 . When they exit, they experience
a new magnetic field B2, that is also
directed out of the page. The ions are then collected inside a
collector.
a) Draw the electric field between the charged plates.
b) With what velocity should ions enter in order to follow a
straight trajectory from S1 to S2?
c) Draw the trajectory followed by the ions in the region of
magnetic field B2? Why does the
trajectory look like this?
d) Where should the collector be placed in the plane containing S2
to collect the ions?
e) What is the mass of the ion in terms of field strengths, charge,
and S2-collector distance?

The initial temperature of the lake at the edge of the mountain glacier is 6.40'C, and the volume of water is 185,000m^3. There is iceberg which the mass is 17.3*10^6kg, temperature is -10'C. The iceberg fell and floated on the lake.
If there is no energy exchange except between the lake and the iceberg, what is the final temperature of the lake and the iceberg?
If there is remaining ice, how much ice is left?

A family on vacation in San Francisco drives from Golden Gate Park due south on 19th Avenue for 2.2 miles and then turns west on Sloat Boulevard and drives an additional 1.1 mile to go to the zoo. The driving time for this trip is 18 minutes. What is the family’s net displacement for this trip? What is the average speed for the trip? What is the average velocity? (Remember to specify the direction of the net displacement and the velocity vectors. This requires giving a reference, like “of the north”, and a direction the angle is measured, like “east” in the direction “20.0° east of north”.)

Kristi Yamaguchi a former figure skater who is the 1992 Olympic Champian, a two-time World Champian and 1992 US Champion. In her 1992 Long Program, she made a sharp turn with a radius of 22.6 m and with a speed of 16.1 m/s. Use Newton's second law to determine the acceleration and the angle of lean of Kristi 55.0-kg body.
Please explain and show work if possible.

A uniform stick, mass m and length l, is placed in a horizontal plane by hanging it from a massless string attached to the center. A ball of mass M moving with speed V in the plane of the stick. The ball strikes the stick at a distance d from the center. the collision is elastic. Find the resulting translational and rotational speeds of the stick and the resulting speed of the ball. show that the relative speed of the ball and the point of contact on the stick is the same before and immediately after the collision.

An electron of charge q = -c is first traveling perpendicular to a constant electric field. Illustrate a diagram depicting the trajectory of the electron, and name the shape of the trajectory (whether it's linear, circular, parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptical). Explain why the electron has the trajectory you found out.

d) Now we will apply these solutions to Benzene molecule. Each double bond in benzene is 1.4Å, so you know the circumference of benzene. Now calculate the radius of benzene using the circumference. There are six -electrons on benzene, which are free to move around the ring due to conjugated double bonds. Make an energy level diagram using equation 6, and calculate the wavelength for the lowest energy electronic transition. Experimentally observed transition for benzene is at 200 nm. (Hint: The ground state will be ml = 0, and then rest of the energy levels are going to be doubly degenerate.)

1. When a radioactive element decays, it is because the balance of neutrons and protons inside the nucleus was unstable. Explain what happens in each of these kinds of decay to make the nucleus more stable (these are the three most common decay types):
a. Fission
b. Beta-decay ( β )
c. Alpha-decay ( α )
Which of these is more often associated with the production of energy (and weapons)?
Why do you think that is?
