We have a cylinder and piston similar to the one in the figure. The diameter of the piston is 3.50 cm. The distance from the bottom of the cylinder to the piston is 12.6 cm. The cylinder is filled with an ideal diatomic gas at room temperature (23.8∘C23.8∘C) and room pressure (1.00 atm).
(a)
If we push down on the piston with a force equal to 119 lb, how far can we move the piston? Consider the compression to be adiabatic, and neglect the flow of heat to the surroundings. Also neglect the weight of the piston. Caution: remember that atmospheric pressure also pushes down on the piston. The total downward force is 119 lb plus the force of atmospheric pressure. Be sure to give the distance the piston moves, not just the final height of the piston.
(b)
Repeat for an ideal monatomic gas.

Software Learning Curve
Corporate executives for a national company are considering implementing new software that will make their business run more efficiently, thereby saving the company a substantial amount of money in the long run. Two competing systems are being reviewed. Software A is the latest version of the software the company currently uses and many of the functions operate similarly to the current version. The software company claims the latest version will increase productivity by 20%. Software B is a completely different system, so it will take longer to learn, but its manufacturers claim it performs at 150% of its leading competitor (the software currently in use by this company).
Before committing to either product, the executives tested the competing software for four weeks in two of their offices. The first office installed software A, which proved easy for the employees to learn as expected. After one week, productivity was already 107.59% compared to previous levels; after two weeks it had jumped to 117.80%. A learning curve model A\left(t\right)=M-Ce^{-kt}A(t)=M−Ce−ktcan be used to represent the productivity at this office t weeks after the new software is installed, where M is the maximum level of productivity with the software. Use the given data to construct the specific learning curve for software A. Based on this model, how productive were the employees of this office when using this new software without any training (i.e., when the new software was first installed)?
The second office installed software B, which required lengthy training for most of the employees. Prior to training the employees could not use this software at all, so the initial productivity was zero in this trial. After four weeks of training and practice using the new software, many of the employees were still struggling and productivity was only 57.18%, of the previous output for this office. Use the given data, including the manufacturer’s performance claim, to construct a learning curve function B\left(t\right)B(t) for software B. How many weeks will it take for this office to reach its previous level of productivity?
Construct a table of values for both A\left(t\right)A(t) and B\left(t\right)B(t) for the first 12 weeks. Solve algebraically to obtain a precise estimate of the number of weeks after installing new software until productivity at the two offices would be equal.

Answer each of the following questions in one paragraph. If you want/need, you can supplement your written explanation with diagrams or equations.
1. Provide an example of an inertial frame of reference and a non-inertial frame of reference. Explain the difference.
2. Using the Michelson-Morley experiment as an example, explain why classical mechanics was unable to explain natural phenomena.
3. Using at least one of Einstein's "thought-experiments", explain how special relativity addresses how it is possible for observers in two different inertial reference frames to “disagree” about time and distance intervals.
4. Describe how special relativity explains the conditions under which classical mechanics breaks down.(When would you, as an observer begin to notice the effects of time dilation and length contraction?)
5. In the early 20th century, the law of conservation of mass was replaced by the law of conservation of mass-energy. Why was this change needed, and how does E=mc2 relate to the special theory of relativity?

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS:
1. A body with a weight of 3.5 grams force hangs from a spring
stretching it 3.21 centimeters.
Initially the body starts from rest 3.4 centimeters below its
equilibrium position.
The medium in which the body moves offers a resistance force to
movement that is numerically equal to 1/8 of its instantaneous
speed.
Knowing that there is an external force, changing in time, which is
defined by the formula: f (t) = 7cos (t) grams force.
Find the position in centimeters of the body after 5 seconds. Take

Heart’s dipole charge. This question refers to the heart and ECG. There is a PDF from textbook on this situation.
A) For dipole described in the problem below, draw the Electric field lines of the dipole. Don’t worry about the dielectric.
B) What’s the ECG measure?
C) Why is it important for the ECG pads to have good electrical conduction. That is, why do they put that ointment on your skin when they place the pads? I solved this problem in class.
D) The heart has a dipole charge distribution with a charge of +1.0 * 10-7 C that is 6.0 cm above a charge of -1.0 * 10-7 C. Determine the E field (magnitude and direction) caused by the heart’s dipole at a distance of 8.0 cm directly above the heart’s positive charge. All charges are located in body tissue of dielectric constant 7.0. What is the force exerted on a sodium ion (charge = +e = +1.6 * 10-19 C) at that point?
