A person wants to catch the bus. Standing on the side of the street, the person sees the bus, 150 meters to the left appraoching at 24.6 m/s. The bus stop is located 50 meters to the right. Already, the bus is slowing-down at 1.45 m/s^2 so the person immediately begins jogging towards the bus stop at a constant 3.12 m/s. (a) Which one gets to the stop first, (b) how long must it wait for the other, and (c) where does the bus pass the person?

a.) Suppose that there is a constant magnetic field in the xy-plane with magnitude 0.5 T, and a proton is moving with a speed of 3 × 10^5 m/s at a 45◦ angle relative to the field. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the proton assuming it only experiences the force due to the magnetic field?

b.) Inside of any microwave, there is a tube called a magnetron in which electrons orbit an approximately constant magnetic field. The electrons in the microwave complete 2.4 billion circular orbits every second, and this causes them to emit microwave radiation having a frequency of 2.4 GHz. What is the strength (magnitude) of the magnetic field inside of the magnetron?

c.) A long, straight wire carrying a 3 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x = −2 cm. Another straight wire carrying a 3 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x = 2 cm. At what point(s) along the x-axis is the magnetic field zero if the two currents are in the opposite direction? If there are no such points, write “None” and show your reasoning.

d.) Suppose that a stream of electrons is moving along a straight wire perpendicular to this page, and the stream is moving into the page. We take the page to be in the xy-plane, and we suppose that the wire along which the electrons are moving intersects the page at the origin. A proton is at point (x,y) = (0 cm, 3 cm) and has velocity (vx, vy) = (5×10^4 m/s, 0 m/s). Will the proton’s path curve into the page, out of the page, or will it just keep moving straight with its current velocity? Write either “into,” “out,” or “straight” in the answer box, and explain your reasoning.

A block of mass m is pressed against a light spring by a distance d and is kept at rest (Fig. 1). The spring, of elastic constant k, is released and the block is thrown on a horizontal surface without friction. The smooth surface curves upward and the block rises. Calculate your speed when you have climbed a height h. (Express v as a function of k, m, d, h and g).

How can I contribute to science / the science community?

It should be stream-of-conciousness writing from the heart. 5 minutes of reflective journaling should result in an essay of about 150-200 words.

An electron moves in crossed electric and magnetic fields on a spiral (helical) trajectory. What are the values of the respective magnetic and electric fields, so that the radius of a helix is 10cm, and its a pitch (vertical height of one complete helix turn) is 1 cm. Hint: approximate the motion as a circular motion is XY only due to magnetic field and motion in Z direction only due to electric field.

An electron moves in crossed electric and magnetic fields on a spiral (helical) trajectory. What are the values of the respective magnetic and electric fields, so that the radius of a helix is 1 cm , its a pitch (vertical height of one complete helix turn) is 10 cm and initial kinetic energy of the electron was 3 keV (kilo electron-volts). Hint: approximate the motion as a circular motion is XY only due to magnetic field and motion in Z direction only due to electric field.
