You need to use your cell phone, which broadcasts an 833 MHz signal, but you're in an alley between two massive, radio-wave-absorbing buildings that have only a 15 m space between them.

What is the angular width, in degrees, of the electromagnetic wave after it emerges from between the buildings?

1)A projectile is launched at some angle above the horizontal. It is in the air for 3.3 seconds before returning to the same height it was launched. If its range is 57 meters in the +x direction, what is the x component of its velocity in m/s when it is at its maximum height?

2)A projectile is launched at 33 degrees above the horizontal at a speed of 29 m/s from the edge of a building which is 69 meters above the ground. What
is the maximum height the projectile reaches above the ground in meters?

3)A projectile is launched at 25 degrees below the horizontal at a speed of 37 m/s from the edge of a building which is 32 meters above the ground. What

You are asked to design a spring that will give a 1080 kg satellite a speed of 2.65 m/s relative to an orbiting space shuttle. Your spring is to give the satellite a maximum acceleration of 5.00g. The spring's mass, the recoil kinetic energy of the shuttle, and changes in gravitational potential energy will all be negligible.

A)What must the force constant of the spring be?

Take the free fall acceleration to be g = 9.80 m/s2 .

b)What distance must the spring be compressed?

2)What is the kinetic energy of the two-vehicle system before the collision?

3)What is the kinetic energy of the system after the collision?

4) Based on the results of the previous parts, what can you conclude about which type of collision this is? Elastic, Inelastic, or totally inelastic?

5) Calculate the coefficient of restitution for this collision.

Capacitors won't hold a charge indefinitely; as time goes on, charge gradually migrates from the positive to the negative plate. We can model this as a discharge of the capacitor through an internal "leakage resistance." A 0.49F capacitor charged to 3.7V will initially discharge with a leakage current of 0.25mA .


I found the leakage resistance to be 1.5

3. Work is inputted to isothermally move a 1500 Kg mass from an elevation of zero to 35m and to change it velocity. The initial velocity of the mass is 0.55 m/s. The drag work for this process is described by a force which varies over the distance travel, F = ax + b; where F is in Newtons, the coefficient (a) has units of N/m and the constant (b) has units of N. For this application a = 4.1 N/m and b = 700 N. The force is applied over a distance of 1730 m. There is a heat loss from friction of 1.1(106 ) J during this process. Determine the final velocity of the mass.

3b. The input work for this process is from a combustion engine that has an efficiency of 0.28. The heating value of the fuel is 30.0 MJ/liters and its cost is $0.83/liter. Determine the volume of fuel required and its cost to perform the process described in (3.).

Please solve with sketches and clear equations. Thanks!

A student decides to move a box of books into her dormitory room by pulling on a rope attached to the box. She pulls with a force of 83.2 N at an angle of 28.0° above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 20.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between box and floor is 0.300. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

(a) Find the acceleration of the box. (Assume that the +x-axis is to the right and the +y-axis is up along the page.)

direction     ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis



(b) The student now starts moving the box up a 10.0° incline, keeping her 83.2 N force directed at 28.0° above the line of the incline. If the coefficient of friction is unchanged, what is the new acceleration of the box? (Assume that the +x-axis is along the incline and the +y-axis is upwards and perpendicular to the incline.)
