My question is would this lab procedure be a valid method of calculating the coefficient of static friction when you are only allowed to make measurements of distance and not of mass. What steps should I add or change?

Lab Objective: Find the coefficient of static friction between a CPO sled and a smart track by only measuring the distance.

1. Angle the straight track so that it acts as a ramp

2. Draw the freebody diagram of the sled on the straight track showing a normal force perpendicular to the ramp surface

3. Break the horizontal and vertical forces into their x and y components and sum them together. Make sure to break the force of gravity apart into its x and y components, applying Newtons’s 2nd law equations to establish relationships between gravity, Fn, and static friction. The x and y components of gravity are the normal force as its y component, Fg (y) = Fn = mgcosθ and F g (x) = mgsinθ as the x component.

4. Measure the horizontal and vertical distances of the ramp by using a meterstick.

5. Calculate the angle at the horizontal (angle of incline) by using inverse tan(height of ramp /base length).

6. Calculate the tangent of the angle of incline using the equation of tanθ=sin θ/cos(θ). The coefficient of static friction is tangent to the angle at which the sled slides.

Problem 1 [6] Compute the eigenvalues of Hˆ = pˆ 2 2m + 1 2 mΩ 2xˆ 2 + λxˆ using two different methods: 1. Complete the square in 1 2mΩ 2x 2+λx (that is, write the term as 1 2mΩ 2 (x− x0) 2+C with suitable constants x0 and C) and use the exact eigenvalues En = (n+ 1 2 )¯hω of a harmonic oscillator with potential V (x) = 1 2mω2x 2 . 2. Apply second-order perturbation theory in λ

Problem 2 [2] Compute the eigenvalues of the matrix Hˆ = 2 λ λ 3 − 2λ ! and Taylor expand them to second order in the real number λ

The bright yellow sodium line in the sodium spectrum is actually a pair of closely spaced lines at 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. You observe the sodium spectrum using a diffraction grating with a spacing of 1700 nm . Find the angular separation between the two sodium lines in first order. Find the angular separation between the two sodium lines in second order. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explorer, but you're separated from him by a 200-m m -high cliff and a 30-m m -wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 5.8 kg k g package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.90 kg k g rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies. (Figure 1) Figure1 of 1A figure shows an explorer stranded across a 30-meter-wide river at the bottom of a 200-meter-height cliff. A rescuer attempts to deliver a package to the explorer by placing the package at the edge of the cliff and shooting a rocket horizontally at it.

a.) Derive the equations of motion for an object with mass(m1) that is orbiting the second object of mass (m2>>m1) in a perfectly circular orbit with radius(R) and orbital period (T).

b.) Find the hamiltonian of the system and describe how it is related to the system energy.

A small rock moves in water, and the force on it by the water is given by f=kv. The terminal speed of the rock is measured and found to be 2.0m/s. The rock is projected upward at an inital speed of 6.0m/s. You can ignore the buoyancy force on the rock

a) in the absence of fluid resistance, how high will the rock rise and how long will it take to reach this maximum height? I managed this one. b) when the effects of fluidresistance are included, what are the answers to the question in part a).

i manage to get the same z time as the solution on this website.

I and the website has the same equation for Vy.

the websites solution for Y = Vt*[1-e^(-k/mt))] which is the same expression as the example in the book.

But in the example in the book there is no initial speed Vy=0. In the question there is initla speed and therefor I think the expression for Y must be different from the examples expression. Therefore I think the solution of this question on this website must be wrong. Please comment me on this.

A particle is described by the wave function ψ(x) = b(a2 - x2) for -a ≤ x ≤ a and ψ(x)=0 for x ≤ -a and x ≥ a , where a and b are positive real constants.

(b) What is the probability to find the particle at x = 0.33a in a small interval of width 0.01a?
