At one point in a pipeline the water's speed is 3.00 m/s and the gauge pressure is 5.00××1044 Pa.
Find the gauge pressure at a second point in the line, 11.0 m lower than the first, if the pipe diameter at the second point is twice that at the first.
Express your answer in kilopascals.

Optimization of a cylinder container with a height of 4 inches and a radius of 1.25 inches in terms of either volume OR surface area.
Please provide:
(A) Calculation of surface area/volume of the container.
(B) Primary and secondary constraint equations
(C) Derivative of primary equation
(D) Optimized dimensions and how they were determined (number-line analysis to show that the dimensions result in an optimized solution.
(E) Graph of optimization (in terms of volume OR surface area in terms of the radius) marking the optimized value, as well as the actual value based on the actual radius.
(F) Comparison of your results with the container’s actual. In other words, if you chose to optimize the volume, then show: Optimized volume-Actual volume/Actual volume×100% which shows the additional percentage of volume your optimized container holds. If you chose to optimize the surface area, then show: Actual surface area- Optimized surface area/Actual surface area×100 which shows the reduced percentage of surface area your optimized container has.

The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decays per minute that occur in the sample. We measured this by detecting the radiation entering the Geiger tube window. Explain why our readings were actually only a small fraction of the actual activity. Also, why did that not seem to matter in the determination of Barium-137m’s half-life? Refer to either your A vs. t or your ln A vs. t graph in your explanation.

A model rocket is fired from the ground in a parabolic arc. At the very top of the arc, at a horizontal displacement of 260 m from the launch point, an explosion occurs within the rocket, breaking it into two fragments which separate from each other. One fragment, having 1/3 the mass of the rocket, falls straight down to Earth as if it were at rest at that moment right after the explosion. Determine the total horizontal displacement from the launch point the other fragment lands. (The two fragments land simultaneously.)

a) In double-slit interference experiment, path difference Δ = d sin θ. Use ray diagram and words to explain why bright spots located at where Δ = mλ and dark spots located at where Δ=(m+1/2)λ. Here m = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, etc.
b)Use any resource you can find to study the single-slit diffraction. Explain how the diffraction pattern formed by laser light passing a single narrow slit with width w. Explain where the dark spots would located. (You should find the equation for this.) Use diagram(s) and words to explain why.
c) Explain what Babinet's principle is. Explain how you can measure the thickness of a hair using the principle of diffraction.

An atom of beryllium (m = 8.00 u) splits into two atoms of helium (m = 4.00 u) with the release of 92.2 keV of energy. Suppose the beryllium atom moved in the positive x direction and had a kinetic energy of 44.0 keV. One of the helium atoms is found to be moving in the positive x direction. Find the direction of motion of the second helium, and find the velocity of each of the two helium atoms. Solve this problem in two different ways: by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy; and by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the beryllium is moving.
(a) by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy
velocity of the first helium (magnitude) | m/s |
velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |

(b) by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at
rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium
atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the
beryllium is moving
velocity of the first helium (magnitude) | m/s |
velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.253 kg) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.374 kg) which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity 0.119 m/s to the left and puck B has velocity 0.649 m/s to the right. Part A: What was the speed vAi of puck A before the collision? Part B: Calculate ΔK, the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during the collision.
