Q4. A science project exhibit, a capacitor is
connected in series with a bulb connected to an ac
source. If its voltage amplitude is held constant, choose the
correct option for the light bulb to
glow the brightest at (a) high frequencies (b) low frequencies (c)
The brightness will be same at
all frequencies. At what frequency the light bulb will glow the
dimmest, if capacitor is replaced by
inductor? When an AC source is replaced by DC source find out
whether the bulb will glow or
not in both cases? Justify your answer scientifically. In the above
circuit 4.4 μF capacitor in series
with light bulb of resistance 1.5 kΩ connected to 240 V, 50 Hz? How
can you evaluate the r.m.s
value of current through the entire circuit? Can you find the
average power developed across
the entire circuit? When the capacitor is replaced by the inductor
of 450 mH, how can you predict
the r.m.s current and average power in that circuit? In an LCR
series circuit, when capacitive
reactance and inductive reactance are equal then what would be the
r.m.s current flowing in the
circuit? Prove this r.m.s current higher than r.m.s current in LR
and CR circuits calculated in
above cases? Justify your answer.

You are pushing a set of blocks along a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks are arranged in order by the 1kg block, then the 2kg block, and then the 3kg block; you push the 1kg block.
a. Calculate the force exerted by the 3kg block on the 2kg block.
b. Calculate the force exerted by the 2kg block on the 1kg block.
For both parts show if you are using Newton's 2nd or 3rd Law and where.

Compton Scattering.A photon of wavelength λcollides elastically with a free electron (initially at rest) of mass m. If the photon scatters at an angle φfrom its original direction of travel, use conservation of relativistic linear momentum and conservation of relativistic energy to derive a mathematical expression for the scattered photon’s wavelength λ’.

1a) Marty McFly needs to go 88 mph (39.3 m/s) to jump back to the future. He is riding his hoverboard holding onto the side of a very very short train, which is chugging faster and faster toward the edge of a cliff (on a flat horizontal). If the cliff is 24 m tall and the train hits the ground 95 m from the base of the cliff, did Marty make it back to the future (how fast was the train going horizontally the moment it left the cliff?)?
1b) Is it possible that Marty’s SPEED increased AFTER the train left the tracks and went over the cliff? Explain. Bonus: What THEOREM might you use to figure out his SPEED right before he hit the ground? (Or explain how you would find his final speed)
1c) Could the horizontal component of his velocity have increased during the fall?

An aircraft we will call the "receiver" is approaching a second aircraft in mid-air, which we will call the "tanker", for refueling. The receiver is following the same path as that of the tanker. The tanker is moving at a constant velocity of 500 feet per second, with its position at time t minutes given by s[t]=500t.
At time t = 0 seconds, the receiver is 2000 feet behind the tanker and has velocity 1000 feet per second. At this time, the receiver begins to decelerate at a constant rate, so that its position at time t (along the path of the tanker) is given by:
r[t]=-2000+1000t+1/2 at^2
where the distance is measured in feet, and a is the acceleration (which is negative). This latter function is carefully calculated by the crew so that in a short amount of time the receiver will catch up to the tanker, and at that instant they will match speeds. The receiver will then link up with the tanker and begin refueling.
Observing that both the position and the velocity of the receiver will equal those of the tanker at the time refueling begins, set up a system of equations for a and t (where a is the acceleration of the receiver and t is the time when the two aircraft meet). Solve your system to determine the following:
(a). How long will it take the receiver to catch up to the tanker?
(b). What is the deceleration (negative acceleration) of the receiver?
(c). Draw motion curves (position, velocity, and acceleration curves) for the receiver and the tanker and write a paragraph describing their motions in detail.
(d). Create a graph of the receiver's position and the tanker's position on the same axes. Also, define a function giving the distance between the receiver and tanker, and graph that function as well. Describe what these graphs illustrate.
