Let’s consider the following situation: Imagine a 37 kg mass falling from a height h and landing on a spring, compressing it, and then being launched back upwards. If the spring has a spring constant of 179 N/m and is observed to be maximally compressed by 5 meters, determine the following: [Note: You may consider the top of the fully compressed spring to be located at y = 0 m] i The total energy contained in the system. ii The height above the ground from which the mass fell. iii The velocity with which the mass impacts the spring. iv The velocity of the mass when it’s launched back upwards. v What is the value of the mass’ maximum kinetic energy and at what point or points in its motion is it achieved? vi What is the value of the mass’ minimum kinetic energy and at what point or points in its motion is it achieved?

Apply the hydrostatic formula to calculate pressure forces in oil wells. To make calculations tractable, some gross simplifications will be made. The realism of these simplifications is discussed below. Results will be sufficient to explain how very large forces can develop. The Deepwater Horizon oil well was about 10700 m deep (measured from the sea surface).
Assume the cross-sectional area of the well was 0.2 m2. The density of crude oil is about 870 kg/m3, and the density of saltwater is about 1030 kg/m3 (this is slightly more than the value of 1000 kg/m3 that I want you to memorize for water density, because the presence of salt slightly increases water density).
Consider the case shown below. Assume
1. the well base is sealed, so pressure inside and outside well can differ.
2. the pores in the sediments surrounding the well are filled with saltwater.
3. the well is filled with oil.
4. the elevation of the oil surface in the well is the same as the elevation of the sea surface.
Let pa=atmospheric pressure (neglect variations of atmospheric pressure with elevation), pb= pressure of fluid in the sediments adjacent to the base of the well, pw=pressure inside the well, at the base of the well.
(i) calculate pb–pa
(ii) calculate pw–pa
(iii) calculate pb–pw (hint: your answer should be more than 100 times atmospheric pressure).
(iv) calculate the net force on the well seal
[hint: since the pressure of oil inside the well (pw) pushes down on the seal, while the pressure outside (pb) pushes up, the net force depends on the difference between the two pressures. The net force also depends on the cross-section of the well. You should get a force exceeding the weight of a 300,000kg object].
•In fact, some of the surrounding sediments are filled with oil, which reduces the net force below the value calculated in (iv), but only slightly. •To avoid the buildup of such large forces, engineers often pour dense, mud-laden water into the well. Aside: the net force on the seal doesn’t depend on where the seal is placed – for example, if the seal were placed at the top of the well, at sea level (instead of at the base of the well), the net force on the seal would be the same as calculated above

Members of the astronomy club just posted an article about the discovery of a small comet which orbit is in the same orbit plane as the Earth. In the article it is reported that the observation took place when the comet was eclipsed by the sun just passing the aphelion, in a relative distance at that moment of 3.82 UA and an orbit with eccentricity of e=0.777.
They are calling you to form part of the group of immediate reaction to determine if the comet is a rick to planet Earth. Do the calculation of the ellipse of the comet and the earth to see if it is a risk to the planet, and know at what time the asteroid will collide

Consider a completely miscible two-component system whose overall composition is X, at a temperature where liquid and gas phases coexist. The composition of the gas phase at this temperature is Xa and the composition of the liquid phase is Xb. Prove the lever rule, which says that the proportion of liquid to gas is (X -Xa)/(Xb -X). Interpret this rule graphically on a phase diagram.

The Plutonium isotope 239Pu has a half-life of 24,000 years and decays by the emission of a 5.2 MeV alpha particle. Plutonium is not especially dangerous if handled because the activity is low, and the alpha radiation doesn’t penetrate the skin. However, there can be serious health concerns if the tiniest particles are inhaled and lodge deep in the lungs. This could happen following any kind of fire or explosion that disperses Plutonium as dust.
a) (3 pts.) Soot particles are roughly 1 μm in diameter, the density of Plutonium is 19,800 kg/m^3 , and its atomic mass is 244 amu. Determine the number of atoms in a 1 μm diameter particle of 239Pu.
b) (1 pt.) Determine the activity (in Bq) of this particle.
c) (2 pts.) Suppose the particle stays lodged in the lungs for 20 years. How much energy is released by emitted alpha particles over this 20-year period?
(Hint: The equation involving �892 tells you how many atoms are remaining, not how many have decayed. The total energy is the number of decayed particles times the energy of an emitted alpha particle.)
We want to determine the dose delivered to the lungs by this particle, averaged over this 20-year period. You can assume all the alpha particles are stopped within a 25 µm-radius sphere around the particle.
d) (2 pts.) What is the mass of the sphere in which the alpha particles deliver all their energy? Assume the tissue density is the same as water, 1000 kg/m^3.
e) (2 pts.) Determine the dose (in Sv) delivered to the lungs by this particle, averaged over this 20-year period. The RBE for alpha particles is 20.
