A ski starts from rest and slides down a 30 ∘ incline 70 m long.
a) If the coefficient of friction is 0.095, what is the ski's speed at the base of the incline?
b) If the snow is level at the foot of the incline and has the same coefficient of friction, how far will the ski travel along the level? Use energy methods.

A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a
radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in
a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water
level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the
water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere
which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the
water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays
the same. Combination answers like 'f or s' are possible answers in
some of the cases.

A uranium-238 nucleus at rest undergoes radioactive decay, splitting into an alpha particle (helium nucleus) with mass 6.64×10-27 kg and a thorium nucleus with mass 3.89×10-25 kg. The measured kinetic energy of the alpha particle is 6.73×10-13 J. If after the decay, the thorium nucleus is observed to move in the negative z direction. After the decay, what direction did the alpha particle move? possible answers: Positive x, Negative x, Positive y, Negative y, Positive z, Negative z. After the decay, what is the kinetic energy of the thorium nucleus?

. Ice at −11.0 °C and steam at 146 °C are brought together at atmospheric pressure in a perfectly insulated container. After thermal equilibrium is reached, the liquid phase at 48.0 °C is present. Ignoring the container and the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid, find the ratio of the mass of steam to the mass of ice. The specific heat capacity of steam is 2020 J/(kg.C°).

9. How do we know whether or not global warming is caused by humans?
From experiments in which a small experimental plot of forest is subjected to excess carbon, and the growth of the trees along with the temperature are then measured. |
||
From experiments in which excess carbon is injected into a laboratory-created Earth-like atmosphere, and the resulting temperature is measured. |
||
From computer calculations that "predict" 20th-century temperatures based on natural variations, then on human-caused variations, and then on a mix of natural and human variations; the actual historical measurements then show that only natural variations are important. |

A uniform film of TiO2, 1036 nm thick and having index of refraction 2.62, is spread uniformly over the surface of crown glass of refractive index 1.52. Light of wavelength 490 nm falls at normal incidence onto the film from air. You want to increase the thickness of this film so that the reflected light cancels.
a) What is the minimum thickness of TiO2 that you must add so the reflected light cancels as desired?
b) After you make the adjustment in part (a), what is the path difference between the light reflected off the top of the film and the light that cancels it after traveling through the film? Express your answer in nanometers.
c) Express your answer in wavelengths of the light in the TiO2 film.
