A tuna with a mass of 100kg swims at a level depth of 20m below the surface of the sea.
1) Draw a free body diagram for the tuna.
2) Calculate the buoyant force on the tuna, and with that the tuna’s volume.
3) Some fish are able change their volume in order to move up and down by inflating a specilized organ within them called a swim bladder. Calculate how much the volume of the tuna must be changed in order for the buoyant force to grow by 30N.
4) By modeling the tuna as a spherical object, estimate the resultant upward terminal velocity of the tuna in this case

Electric Potential (Parallel Plate Capacitor Potential Energy and Potential)
A parallel plate capacitor has two terminals, one (+) and the other (-). When you move a test positive charge, q at uniform velocity from the negative terminal (Ui and Vi) to the positive terminal (Uf and Vf), work W = ΔU = qΔV is done on the charge, increasing the energy of the field by this amount. The work done by the field on the charge is – W. (V = U/q, all have their usual meaning)
QUESTIONS on the above observations:
(i) What is the work done to move a negative charge, q at uniform velocity from the positive to the negative terminal? Increasing the potential energy, a push (work) is needed to move the object.
(ii) Which terminal is the high potential for the plus charge?
(iii) Which terminal is the high potential for the negative charge?
(iv) If you do work 1.0 eV to move a proton from the negative to the positive terminal of a capacitor, how much work will you do to move an electron in the exact same manner from the positive the negative terminal of the same capacitor?
(v) What is the potential difference across the above capacitor?

Consider a flat expanding universe with no cosmological constant and no curvature (k=0 in the Einstein equations). Show that if the Universe is made of "dust", so the energy density scales like 1/a^3, then the scale factor, a(t), grows as t^(2/3). Show if it is made of radiation (so the energy density scales as 1/a^4 -- the extra factor of a comes from the redshift), then it grows as t^(1/2). In both cases, show that for early times, the scale factor grows faster than light. Is this a problem?

A puma leaps from one cliff ledge to another, the second ledge leapt to is 0.7m higher than the first, as well as 2.4m further along the cliff. (10)
1) Calculate the velocity with which the puma must take off in order to barely reach the second ledge.
2) If the puma weighs 50kg, calculate the impulse that the puma exerts on the first ledge in order to make this jump.
3) If the maximum force exerted by any one of the puma legs is 60N, calculate the minimum time which the puma's feet must spend in contact with the first ledge.

There are many subtle effects that must be taken into account in calculations involving GPS satellites. Estimate just the effect of the time dilation of special relativity.
(a) Find the speed of a GPS satellite (height is 20,200 km above the surface of Earth). Hence, find the time difference between a clock in the satellite and one on the ground after one complete orbit, assuming they were originally synchronized (ignore all effects except time dilation).
(b) Suppose we forgot to allow for this time difference. Estimate the resulting error in the calculation of our position.
