An object with a mass of 4.15 kg undergoes an acceleration of 2.7 m/s2 for a period of 8.0 s. It then undergoes an acceleration of -3.2 m/s2 for a period of 20.0 s If the initial velocity of the object is 6.01 m/s and it first experiences the acceleration when it is at the origin, plot by hand on graph paper (to scale) the force, velocity, and position as functions of time. Explain why your graphs look the way they do. Include all relevant equations. (Each graph 10 pts, each explanation 10 pts, 60 pts total)

Please Answer the following problem 1 and 2. write clearly.

PROBLEM 1

A 5.96 − kg block is placed against a compress spring on a frictionless 27.0 degrees incline. The spring,

whose force constant is 2.5 N/cm, is compressed 21.3 cm, after which the block is released. How far up

the incline will the block go before coming to rest? Measure the final position of the block with respect

to its position just before being released. Consider two cases:

(a) the block is firmly attached to the spring, and

(b) the block is not attached to the spring and can loosely move up the incline

PROBLEM 2

During a rockslide, a 524 − kg rock slides from the rest down the hill slope that is 488 m long and

292 m high. The speed of the rock when it reaches the bottom of the hill is 62.6 m/s. How much

mechanical energy does the rock lose in the slide due to friction.

A ball of mass m is tied to a string and is rotating in a vertical plane. The string is elastic (it stretches), which causes the path to be elongated vertically rather than perfectly circular. At the top of the path, the speed has the minimum value that still allows the ball to complete its circular path. Find: the length of the string when it makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. The following quantities are known: Mass of the ball , m Elastic constant of the string, k Length of the string when the ball is at the top , r0 and angle θ.

1. A surgeon inserted a needle in the patient’s vein. The needle was connected to a top-open plastic bag filled with therapeutic fluid and lifted to a height h. Find h , which is just sufficient for the fluid to enter the vein, if the pressure gauge inside the vein was 5980 Pa. The therapeutic fluid density was adjusted to be the same as that of blood, 1060kg/m3.

2. At the next stage of the treatment procedure, the surgeon used a syringe to administer a drug fluid into the same vein as in #1. The syringe was positioned at the same level as the vein. A force of 1.20 N was applied to the plunger of the cross-sectional area 0.81 cm2 connected to the needle of the inner radius 0.6 mm. What was pressure difference between the proximal and distal parts of the needle, given that the proximal end opened into the vein? Use the same drug fluid density as in #1.

3. What volume of the drug fluid was injected into the vein in 2.5 s by the pressure difference calculated in #2? [Hint: neglect the fluid speed in the syringe].

Two separate experiments -- double-slit and diffraction grating -- use a 400-nm electromagnetic wave. In both experiments, a long, flat wall where the results are seen is located 2.00-m across from the slits/grating. The slit separation for the double-slit experiment is 0.20mm. The diffraction grating has 1200 lines per mm.

a. Calculate the distance between the first and second bright spots below the center line for each experiment. Compare your answer for each experiment and explain how the pattern created on the screen by the two experiments would differ.

b. If the slit-width is roughly the same for both, which pattern would have a brighter central maximum? Why?

Draw free body diagrams for the motorcycle rider for each of the following situations. Label all your force vectors clearly, and draw them in a self-consistent manner – that is, forces that cancel (sum to zero) should be drawn so that they cancel on your diagram. In all diagrams, assume the motion is towards the right. A motorcycle rider falls off her Harley while attempting to pop a wheelie.

  1. The motorcycle rider skids along the surface of a horizontal road, slowing down slightly in the process.
  2. The road dips, so the sliding motorcycle rider picks up speed as she skids along the asphalt.

The rider eventually slides to a stop. An ambulance arrives and two burly EMTs place the rider on a gurney

  1. The EMTs hoist the gurney straight upwards to get it level with the bed of the ambulance.
  2. With the motorcycle rider inside, the ambulance accelerates along the horizontal road towards the hospital.
  3. The ambulance drives towards the hospital along a straight, horizontal road at a steady 40 mph.

B. The rider is put in traction at the hospital. A force of 120 N at an angle of 29º from the vertical is applied to her femur. How much force should be applied to her tibia (at 70º from the vertical), so that the resultant net traction pull is directed at 23º from the vertical?
