Cover chapter 2 (solar and IR radiation) and the beginning of chapter 3 (thermodynamics) of the Stull book.Write out the question before responding to the question. Perform a units check for each formula. Answers must include units to receive full credit.

.(a) Compute the mass flux (kg m-2 s -1 ) at sea level, for a measured kinematic mass flux of 21ms-1 .

(b) Suppose that this kinematic mass flux was made at an altitude of 3km in an adiabatic atmosphere with the sea level temperature of 20°C, what is the mass flux in this situation?

(c) Estimate the value of solar irradiance reaching the orbit of Jupiter.

(d) If the solar radiation changes by +/- 10%, what is the corresponding change to the solar irradiance reaching the planet Venus?

  1. The pilot of rocket A, moving at a velocity of 0.8c relative to earth, observes a second rocket B that moves along the same line approaching him from behind at 0.7c. What does an observer on earth measure for the second rocket’s velocity?
  2. For observer S, a meter stick at rest makes an angle of 25 degrees with the x-x’ axis. How long is that meter stick for S? An observer S’ who moves along the y-y’-axis at 0.5c sees what length and what angle for the meter stick?

A certain honest wheel of chance is divided into three equal segments colored green (G), red (R), and yellow (Y), respectively. You spin the wheel twice and take the outcome to be the resulting color sequence—GR, RG, and so forth. Let A = “neither color is yellow” and let B = “matching colors.” Draw the Venn diagram and calculate P(A), P(B), P(AB), and P(A + B).

Please include diagrams:

a) A 100-W light bulb and a 40-W light bulb are both rated at household voltage. i) Which light bulb will be brighter if the two bulbs are connected in parallel and this combination connected to a household voltage source? ii) Which light bulb will be brighter if they are connected in series and this combination connected to a household voltage? b) A battery charges a parallel plate capacitor. After it is fully charged, it is then disconnected from the battery and the gap between the plates is filled with a dielectric. How does the charge on the plates and the potential difference between them change? c) A battery is used to charge a parallel plate capacitor. After it is fully charged, the battery is disconnected and the plates are pulled apart. What happens to the potential energy stored in the capacitor and the potential difference across the capacitor?

While working on the digital effects for Star Wars XXIII, you find yourself responsible for a scene in which a TIE fighter (of mass m) crashes and embeds itself into a Star Destroyer (of mass 20m). To improve upon the scientific realism of the series, you decide to calculate the physics of the collision. Model the TIE fighter as a point particle and the Star Destroyer as a rod; assume that the fighter hits close to one end of the Destroyer and is traveling perpendicular to it at 500 m/s at the time of impact. You estimate that the Star Destroyer is 100 m long.

(a) What is the cruiser's final rate of rotation?

(b) At what speed does the cruiser's center of mass move after the collision?

a. A horizontal platform in the shape of a circular disk ( I = 1/2 MR2) rotates in a horizontal plane about a frictionless vertical axle. The platform has a mass M=200kg and a radius R=2.00 m. A student whose mass is m=60.0kg, walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. If the angular speed of the system is 2.00 rad/s, when the student is at the rim, calculate the angular speed of the system when the student reaches the center.

b. A particle of mass 0.50 kg is moving with a velocity v=(6i+8j) m/s. Find the angular momentum L relative to the origin when the particle is at r=(2i+3k) m

Q/ If E is a macroscopic field inside the dielectric , and consider an atom at position R , Draw a sphere of radius ℓ ( Lorentz sphere) about R. suppose( l » a interatomic spacing ). The contribution to the microscope field at R from induced dipoles on other atoms can be divided in two parts ;

  1. For atoms inside sphere
  2. For atoms outside sphere

For the two cases prove that the local field at center of sphere is :

Suppose that you are designing a parachute so that the terminal velocity using the parachute will be the same as the velocity at the end of a normal (frictionless) jump from a height of 2.80 m. If the parachute exerts a drag force of - b v where v is in meters per second and if the parachute is designed for an 70.0 kg person, what is b?
