2. Answer the following questions about the motion of an object launched from the roof of a building with a height of 10 m at an initial velocity of 20 m/s and an angle of 60°. (1) Find the x and y components of the initial velocity. (2) Find the x and y components of the velocity after 2.0 seconds. (3) Find the time to reach the highest point. (4) Find the height of the highest point. (5) Find the time until it falls to the ground.

A satellite is launched into an orbit at an altitude 200 km above the surface. Onboard is an exquisitely sensitive atomic clock that is synchronized with an identical clock on Earth. After orbiting for one year, the satellite is captured, returned to Earth, and the clocks compared. What will be the shift in time between the two clocks?

Measure all the dimension of the four objects and fill out the table below. As the ‘proof’ that you did the experiments, take a screenshot of your PC screen for at least one dimension of each and insert (copy and paste) the screenshots to the end of this data sheet. (For Window’s users, ‘snipping tool’ is convenient to take a screenshot. You can search the tool by searching ‘snipping tool’ on Windows Search. For Mac users, press ‘Command’ + ‘Shift’ + ‘3’ to capture a screenshot). Also, calculate the volume of each object using the following formulas. The volume of the sphere of dimeter reads
Eq. 1
the volume of the block of length , breadth as and thickness
Eq. 2
the volume of the cylinder of dimeter and height
, Eq. 3
and the volume of the beaker of internal diameter and the internal height (depth)
Eq.4

Please Type Answer
A person who has their feet spread apart, when pushed against by another person is able to stay stable. A person who has their feet together, when pushed against by another person is not stable at all. What is the reason for this? Take into consideration the mechanical principles in relation to torque, levers, area of supporting base, and position of your center of gravity.

A child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 20.0° slope.
1)
Assuming that there are no forces resisting the sled’s motion, how long will the child take to reach the bottom of the slope, 250 m from the top? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

the nuclear shell model, orbitals are filled in the
order 1s1/2,1p3/2,1p1/2,1d5/2,2s1/2,1d3/2, etc.
(a) What is responsible for the splitting between the p3/2 and p1/2
orbitals?
(b) In the model, 16O (Z = 8) is a good closed-shell nucleus and
has spin and parity Jπ = 0+ . What are the predicted Jπ values for
15O and 17O?
(c) For odd-odd nuclei a range of Jπ values is allowed. What are
the allowed values for 18F (Z = 9)?
(d) For even-even nuclei (e.g. for 18O) Jπ is always 0+ . How is
this observation explained?

3. Electric power is transferred at very high voltages
over long distances. Transmission of high voltage
Explain how it reduces power loss on the lines.
4. If two points have the same potential, this test load will be
taken from one point to another.
Does it mean that no work will be carried out during the course?
This need no force application
shows that it is not? Discuss.
