A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 28.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile.

(a) Find the maximum altitude reached by the rocket. (m)

(b) Find its total time of flight. (s)

(c) Find its horizontal range. (m)

5. (IB) An ideal gas at an initial pressure of 4.0 × 105 Pa is expanded isothermally from a volume of 3.0 m3 to a volume of 5.0 m3.
a) Calculate the final pressure of the gas.
b) On graph paper, sketch a graph to show the variation with volume V of the pressure p during this expansion. c) Use the sketch graph in (b) to:
(i) estimate the work done by the gas during this process
(ii) explain why less work would be done if the gas were to expand adiabatically from the same initial state to the same final volume.

(a) Have you ever visited an amusement park and taken a ride on a parachute drop ride? These types of rides take the passengers to a great height, and then drop them in free fall. Before they hit the ground, the ride is slowed using a Lenz’s law mechanism thus avoiding certain death. For this discussion, first locate a photo of one of these rides (either one you’ve personally experienced or one you might like to try someday), and in your initial post, upload the photo and respond to the following:

  • Explain how Lenz’s law applies to this situation.
  • Why is the Lenz’s law mechanism ideal for such a use?
  • What other mechanisms can be used to slow the descent? Compare and contrast these options with the Lenz’s law mechanism.

(b) As you have learned, an electromagnet is a magnet that is produced by electric current. Think about how electromagnets are used and what you have seen or heard of them being used for. In your initial discussion post, respond to the following:

  • Which of the principles or laws discussed in this module explain how an electromagnet works?
  • Describe in detail two modern applications of electromagnets. Do these electromagnets draw a large amount of current or a little? How do you know? What supplies that current?
  • Why do you think electromagnets are used in these different ways?
  • What is the advantage of using an electromagnet rather than a permanent magnet?

Given an infinite sheet of charge occupying the x-y plane such that the charge density is constant and uniform, find the electric field at any point on the z-axis by:

A) Using the point charge formula for the electric field directly in cartesian coordinates.

B) Using the point charge formula for the electric field directly in cylindrical coordinates.

C) Using the point charge formula for potential in cylindrical coordinates and taking the gradient.

A 0.74-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar hits the river below, its speed is 25 m/s, and the emf induced across its length is 7.9 x 10-4 V. Assuming the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the location of the bar points directly north, (a) determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, and (b) state whether the east end or the west end of the bar is positive.

a.) A particular patch of a vegetable oil (n=1.30) floating in water (n=1.33) is 530 nm thick. What is the longest wavelength which will undergo constructive interference on reflecting from the surface?

b). For a particular application, you want to apply an anti-reflective coating to glasses which will minimize reflection of green light with a wavelength of 550 nm. The index of refraction is ncoat= 1.30, and it will be applied on glass with index of refraction of nglass= 1.50. If you want the coating to be as thin as possible, how thick should be?

An infinite plane slab of thickness 2H has a uniform charge density p , where z is defined to be at the center of the slab. In the z direction, the slab extends from z = -H to z = +H. Find the electric field both inside and outside the slab. (Hint: Outside the slab, Qenc does not depend on z anymore.)
