2. A cylinder is filled with helium gas at 323 K and 118 atmospheres. The volume of the cylinder is 3.07 liters. What is the total number of atoms in the gas?
3. One mole of helium gas at 297 K is allowed to expand slowly (isothermally) from an initial volume of 3.50 liters to a final volume of 16.1 liters. How much heat flows into the gas?
4. Helium gas is kept in a container surrounded by perfect vacuum p=0 (e.g. in space). The pressure inside the container is 288 Pa. Suddenly, the container breaks and the gas expands rapidly (i.e. adiabatically). What is the pressure of the gas when the volume has tripled?

A test rocket starting from rest at point A is launched by accelerating it along a 200.0-m incline at 1.80 m/s2 (Figure 1).The incline rises at 35.0∘ above the horizontal, and at the instant the rocket leaves it, its engines turn off and the rocket is subject to gravity only (ignore air resistance).
a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the rocket reaches.
b) Find the rocket's greatest horizontal range beyond point A.

Place the following list of scenarios in order from greatest energy required to least energy required, and explain using physics why you chose that order: i) A charge +q is brought in from ∞ to a distance r from a conducting sphere holding charge +Q; ii) A charge +q is brought in from ∞ to a distance r/2 from a conducting sphere holding charge +Q; iii) A charge +q is brought in from ∞ to a distance r from a conducting sphere holding charge +2Q; iv) A charge +q is brought in from ∞ to a distance r from a conducting sphere holding charge −Q; v) A charge +q is brought in from ∞ to an equidistance r from a conducting sphere of charge +Q and another sphere of charge −Q.

A 63.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 28.0 m/s. Suppose the goalie and the ice puck have an elastic collision and the puck is reflected back in the direction from which it came. What would their final velocities (in m/s) be in this case? (Assume the original direction of the ice puck toward the goalie is in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Three charges are placed in the following locations: Q1 of -90.0µC at the origin; Q2 of +94.5µC at (0, 40.0 cm); and Q3 of +69.6 µC at (68.0 cm, 0).
a) Determine the total electric field at “P” located at (68.0 cm, 40.0 cm).
b) A fourth charge, q4 of +52.0 µC is placed at P. Find the total force on q4.
c) Determine the total potential V at P.
d) Does q4 have any electrical potential energy at P?
e) How much work is involved to move q4 from P to a new location “S” at (136 cm, 0)? Did the electric field do the work or was an outside agent involved to get q4 from P to S?

The rechargeable batteries for a laptop computer need a much smaller voltage than what a wall socket provides. Therefore, a transformer is plugged into the wall socket and produces the necessary voltage for charging the batteries. The batteries are rated at 9.0 V, and a current of 272 mA is used to charge them. The wall socket provides a voltage of 120 V.
