Problem 1. A particle is orbiting a star of mass M in a circular orbit. (a, 2 POINTS) Find the equation that provides the orbital speed at a given distance r from the center of the star. (b, 1 POINT) From the result at (a), calculate at what distance rS the particle should be from the center of the star for its orbital speed to be equal to the speed of light, c (in this case, the particle would be a photon). (c, 1 POINT) Calculate that distance, rS for a star of mass equal to M = 10M, where the mass of the Sun is M = 1.99 × 1030 kg and c = 2.997925 × 105 km/s. (d, 4 POINTS) If the particle is a star orbiting the Galaxy, find and plot the function that describes the speed of the star as a function of its distance from the center of the Galaxy, r. You must calculate this in two cases, if the star is inside or outside the Galaxy. Assume the Galaxy is a homogeneous sphere of maximum radius RGalaxy and density ρ0.

In an aortic aneurysm, a bulge forms where the walls of the aorta are weakened. If blood flowing through the aorta (radius 1.1 cm) enters an aneurysm with a radius of 3.0 cm, how much on average is the blood pressure higher inside the aneurysm than the pressure in the unenlarged part of the aorta? The average flow rate through the aorta is 110 cm3/s. Assume the blood is non-viscous and the patient is lying down so there is no change in height.

Consider a system of five particles inside a container where the energy levels are evenly spaced. (For instance, the particles could be trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential.) In this problem, you will consider the allowed states for the system if the particles are identical fermions, identical bosons, or distinguishable particles.
-----
Consider these systems at a very high temperature. Speculate how the fermionic system, the bosonic system, and the distinguishable particle systems would differ, and support your stance with sound reasoning.

Online trolls drive us crazy saying that our cars are big, heavy and that they drive like boats. Well, our solution to everything is more horsepower. Even, in 1921, the Dodge Brothers built a boat named the SS Delphine and it had a whopping 3000 HP. So, how much horsepower would a Challenger SRT® Hellcat Redeye Widebody need to tow the SS Delphine up the industry standard: Davis Dam Grade Climb?
The video of the question on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/6JLrBj3dqvM
Pro Tips
Davis Dam assumed grade = 7%
Air density is sea level conditions (.002377 slugs/f^t3)
w(weight) of the SS Delphine + trailer + Redeye = 3,922,000 + 150,000 + 4451 Lbs
Crr = coefficient of rolling resistance = .015
Assume Combined CDA is 1555 ft^2
SAE J2807 (Davis Dam Grande Climb) - min speed is 40mpg (59 ft/s)
F(drag) = 1/2p x V^2 x C(d)A
F(rolling resistance) = W x cos x Crr
F(weight) = W x sin
F(sum) = F(drag) + F(rr) + F(weight)
P = F(sum)XV
convert to horsepower = P(1hp/550ft lbf/sec)
