1. When an inductor is connected to a 60.0 Hz source it has an inductive reactance of 54.4 Ω. Determine the maximum current in the inductor (in A) if it is connected to a 46.0 Hz source that produces a 120 V rms voltage.
An inductor (L = 360 mH), a capacitor (C = 4.43 µF), and a resistor (R = 460 Ω) are connected in series. A 50.0-Hz AC source produces a peak current of 250 mA in the circuit.
(a) Calculate the required peak voltage ΔVmax.
(b) Determine the phase angle by which the current leads or lags the applied voltage.

---Select--- leads lags |
3. An AC voltage of the form Δv = 100 sin 1 000t, where Δv is in volts and t is in seconds, is applied to a series RLC circuit. Assume the resistance is 375 Ω, the capacitance is 4.50 µF, and the inductance is 0.500 H. Find the average power delivered to the circuit.

We all know that wavefunction collapse when it is observed. Uncertainty principle states that ?x?p??2. When wavefunction collapse, doesn't ?x become 0?, as we will know the location of the particle. Or does standard deviation just become smaller?
After collapse occurs, what happens to the particle? Does the particle resurrect into a wavefunction form?
What can be an observer that triggers wavefunction collapse? (electron wavefunction does not collapse when meeting with electrons; but some macroscopic objects seem to become observers....)
What happens to the energy of a particle/wave packet after the collapse?

Please name every day items that apply to the certain topics regarding optics:
1) Reflection on plane mirrors
2) Interference of light
3) Reflection on curved mirrors
4) Refraction of light
5) Diffraction of light
6) Diverging or converging lenses
7) Polarization of light
I need to include a photo of each concept (7 photos) that I need to take with my phone/camera. For each picture, can you please explain what topic the picture exemplifies using physics terms? Ex: "It shows polarization of light through... etc"
Thank you so much!

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to keep leap tall buildings in a single bound. The infant of Krypton is now the Man of Steel: Superman!
a) Given what you know about Superman from this description, estimate the maximum speed with which he can jump. State explicitly your assumptions and any limitations of your model, and comment on the result. If you decide to use the acceleration due to gravity, you may estimate a value of g=10 m/s^2. Note, the empire state building is approx. 450 m to the tip of the spire.

10. You are the
veterinarian at a zoo that has 21 zebras. Each zebra needs to get
four
intravenous shots (over the course of a month) of a vaccination
against Zebra Zombie Disease.
Each injection contains 750 mg of the active vaccination agent. How
many grams of the active
vaccination agent should you order for the month?
12. A municipal
transit system has 85 diesel buses that travel an average of 47,000
miles per
year each. Because of the start and stop nature of a bus route,
they only get an average of 5
MPG. If diesel costs $2.75 per gallon, how much is the annual fuel
bill?
13. A block of metal is 5 cm by 7 cm by 9 cm and has a mass of 854
grams. Calculate the density
of the block and give your best guess of what it is made of.
Express the density in both g/cm3
and kg/m3.
14. You have a 100-watt light bulb on your front porch that is
turned on 10 hours every night. If
the cost of electricity is 12 cents per KWHR (kilowatt hour), how
much does that bulb add to
your monthly electric bill?
15. The parking lot of a college campus has 200 lamp posts. Each
lamp post has two 1200-watt
light bulbs. The lights are on an average of 10 hours per night
year-round. Calculate the annual
electric cost for the lights if the college pays 8.5 cents per
KWHR.
