You toss a ball straight up. Let t = 0 be the time just after you throw the ball, let t = treturn be the time just before it the ball returns to your hand (motion is in free fall). The only knowns are treturn, g, H (max height), Viy. Use yf = yi+Viy(deltat) -(1/2)g(delta t)^2 to determine the two times when the ball is at half of its maximum height.

Work-Energy Theorem:
1. Give an example of an explanation you devised to your friend or classmate to make him/her understand what you were talking about. What representations did you use (analogy, graph, equation etc.) when you were explaining to him/her? Do you think using more than one representation helps you explain better? If so, why do you think it helps?
2. For the same explanation above, please try to identify what assumptions you made. Why did you make the assumption/assumptions? In other words, what do you think are the functions of your assumption(s) when you devise your explanation?

A binary geothermal power plant uses geothermal water at 160°C as the heat source. The plant operates on the simple Rankine cycle with isobutane as the working fluid. Heat is transferred to the cycle by a heat exchanger in which geothermal liquid water enters at 160°C at a rate of 555.9 kg/s and leaves at 90°C. Isobutane enters the turbine at 3.25 MPa and 147°C and leaves at 79.5°C and 410 kPa. Isobutane is condensed in an air-cooled condenser and pumped to the heat exchanger pressure. Assume that the pump to has an isentropic efficiency of 90 percent. Take the specific heat of geothermal water is taken to be 4.258 kJ/kg·C. The properties of isobutane are given as h1 = 273.01 kJ/kg, v1 = 0.001842 m3/kg, h3 = 761.54 kJ/kg, h4 = 689.74 kJ/kg, and h4s = 670.40 kJ/kg. (a) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine, (b) the net power output of the plant, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Procedure
M=270 g (hanger +220g); Tape the 220 g to the hanger that is 50g
m=250g (hanger +200g); Tape the 200 g to the hanger that is 50g
Set the apparatus so that when m is on the floor, M is at height h=1.50m; Make sure you measure and record the actual value of h that you use.
Release the system from rest and measure the time taken for m1 to fall on the floor.
SAFETY – When M hits the floor it becomes a free projectile; have a group member catch it!!!!
You will perform 5 trials and record the data in the following

Data and Calculation
Determine the average time tav from your data in Table 1.
In order to determine the final velocity of mass m1 just before it hits the floor you can use:
Method 1:
It can be shown that the final velocity of the mass m1is given by eq. (1):
h=12(vi+vf)t eq. (1)
Method 2:
Since mass M started from rest we could also use
vf=vi+at eq. (2)
The following equation for the acceleration of the Atwood machine can be derived using FBD:
a=M-mM+mg eq. (3)
Calculating Energy

KEf=12(M+m)vf2 eq. (4)
PE=mgh eq. (5)
The final total energy is given by:
Ef=Kf+PEf eq. (6)
(Note: mass needs to be in kilograms if you are reporting the energy in units of Joules).
Record the final velocity, obtained using Method 1 and Method 2 in Table 2 below.

In the circuit at right, switch S is closed, and is held that way for a very long time. The central branch of the circuit, having resistance R, has negligible self-inductance, but the branch of the right, having resistance 2R, has a non-negligible self-inductance L. If the switch is suddenly opened, what will be the voltage across the inductor at that instant? Express your answer as a fraction or multiple of ℰ, and make sure to explain which side of the inductor (top or bottom) is at higher poential.
