A basketball is thrown vertically up from a 1.6‑m height with an initial speed v₀ = 23 m/s. At what speed will the ball hit the ground?

The speed of the ball, v₁ =  

How long will it take for the ball to reach the ground?

The time of flight, t₁ =  

Now the basketball is thrown vertically down from the same 1.6‑m height and with the same initial speed v₀ = 23 m/s. First, check your physical intuition and complete the following two statements:

If the initial velocity is directed down, the final speed of the ball (Select an answer: decreases, increases, stays the same, do not know) .

If the initial velocity is directed down, the time of the free fall (Select an answer: decreases, stays the same, increases, do not know) .

Now, with the new conditions, what will be the speed of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The speed of the ball, v₂ =  

How long will it take for the ball to reach the ground?

The time of flight, t₂ =  

Four lawn sprinkler heads are fed by a 1.7 cm diameter pipe. The water comes out of the heads at an angle of 40 ∘ to the horizontal and covers a radius of 7.8 m .

A) What is the velocity of the water coming out of each sprinkler head? (Assume zero air resistance.)

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

B) If the output diameter of each head is 2.8 mm , how many liters of water do the four heads deliver per second?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

C) How fast is the water flowing inside the 1.7 cm diameter pipe?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

You put a can of water into a fire. The can heats up, and the water remains liquid. Neglecting the tiny change in volume due to thermal expansion, the change in the internal energy of the water is __________the heat absorbed by the water.

Question 2: In a steam power plant operating according to the ideal intermediate superheated Rankine cycle, water vapor enters the high pressure turbine at 8 MPa pressure and 500 ^oC temperature and expands to 3 MPa pressure. Then, the steam is re-heated to a temperature of 500 ^oC in the boiler and expands to 20 kPa condenser pressure in the low pressure turbine.

I. Show the cycle in the T-s diagram and explain for what purpose intermediate superheating is done.

II. Calculate the total turbine work.

III. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

(d) You have a metallic nanowire. The length of the nanowire is 1 mm (Comparing with the wave length of electrons, you can think the length is infinitely long.) The width of the nanowire is 50 nm. The height of the nanowire is 20 nm. Based on the simple model we discussed in our lecture, write out the formula of the energy of electrons in the nanowire (formula is enough, no calculation is required).

A parallel-plate air capacitor of area A=12.0cm² and plate separation d=3.80mm is charged by a battery to a voltage 66.0V. If a dielectric material with kappa=3.60 is inserted so that it fills the volume between the plates (with the capacitor still connected to the battery), how much additional charge will flow from the battery onto the positive plate?
