Two isotopes of carbon, carbon-12 and carbon-13, have masses of 1.993 10-26 kg and 2.159 10-26 kg, respectively. These two isotopes are singly ionized (+e) and each is given a speed of 7.88 105 m/s. The ions then enter the bending region of a mass spectrometer where the magnetic field is 0.8400 T.
Determine the spatial separation between the two isotopes after they have traveled through a half-circle.

Straws work on the principle of the outside atmospheric pressure pushing the fluid (for example water) up the straw after you have lowered the pressure at the top of the straw (in your mouth). Assuming you could create a perfect vacuum in your mouth, what is the longest vertical straw you could drink water from?
1.65 m
4.28 m
7.71 m
10.3 m
8) How would this answer change if you were on a planet with a much lower atmospheric pressure?
increases
decreases
remains the same
9) A block of wood (density 550 kg/m3) and a block of metal (density 2700 kg/m3) with equal volume are placed 1 m under water in a swimming pool. Which has a greater buoyant force on it?
the metal
the wood
they have the same buoyant force
10) Which has a greater force of gravity on it?
the metal
the wood
they have the same force of gravity
11) Compare the buoyant force to the force of gravity for each object.
In both cases the buoyant force is greater.
In both cases the force of gravity is greater.
For the metal, the buoyant force is greater; for the wood, the force of gravity is greater.
For the wood, the buoyant force is greater; for the metal, the force of gravity is greater.
12) If they were taken to a depth of 10 m what would happen to the buoyant force on each (assume the density of water is constant and the objects are incompressible)?
they increase
they decrease
they remain the same
13) If the objects were connected together, would they sink or float?
they would sink
they would float
they would stay right where the are!
14) Water is flowing through a pipe that slowly gets smaller as it rises to the bathroom on your second floor (10 m high). The pipe coming into your house is 3 cm in diameter, the pressure there is 3x105 Pa, and the water is moving at .8 m/s. The diameter of the pipe in the upstairs bathroom is 1.5 cm. How fast is the water moving right before it leaves the pipe in the bathroom?
.2 m/s
.4 m/s
1.6 m/s
3.2 m/s
15) What is the pressure of the water in the pipe right before it leaves the pipe?
1.50x105 Pa
1.97x105 Pa
2.88x105 Pa
3.67x105 Pa

An electron is accelerated inside a parallel plate capacitor.
The electron leaves the negative plate with a negligible initial
velocity and then after the acceleration it hits the positive plate
with a final velocity β. The distance between the plates is 11.0
cm, and the voltage difference is 147 kV. Determine the final
velocity β of the electron using classical mechanics. (The rest
mass of the electron is 9.11×10-31 kg, the rest energy
of the electron is 511 keV.)
What is the final velocity β of the electron if you use
relativistic mechanics?

There is a region with a constant magnetic field 6.31T . The magnetic field is directed out of the page. A conducting rod moves with a velocity of 1.58m/s , along a V shaped wire that is in the shape of a right triangle. At time = 0 s the rod is at the vertex of the triangle where the angle at the vertex is 19degrees . The right angle is where the conducting rod is. This means the rod is moving along the x axis and the rod is the y axis.
What is the emf induced in the rod after it has moved from the vertex for a time of 10.9s ?

It's your birthday, and to celebrate you're going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 120 m above a raging river and attach a 30-m -long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 45 N/m . Assume that your mass is 71 kg . After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge.
Part A
How far are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
