2 graduate students measure the strength of an MRI's magnetic
field to have the following value:

Suppose we want to linearize by substitution the formula for
dependent variable Kinetic Energy (K) with independent variable
velocity (v).
If the original equation is
K=(1/2)m v^2, what will our "new" independent variable (x) be

The known area of a table is 1.50 m2. You measure the length
of the table to be 1.30 m and the width to be 1.18 m. What is
the percent error between the known area of the table and the
measured area of the table you calculate using A = L*W?

Momentum is defined as mass times velocity. You find the mass of
a car to be 2014.88 kg and the velocity of the car to be 7.85 m/s,
giving you a momentum of 15816.808 kg-m/s.
Round this momentum to the correct number of significant digits.
15800
answer will be given in least significant figures
velocity has 2 significant figure only
so momentum=14000 kgm/s instead of 14334.612 kg-m/s.
One example of tolerance "that matters in the real world" can
be found in radiation oncology clinics. Physicians will prescribe

within a certain tolerance (or range of doses) in order to control
the tumor.
If a physician prescribes 50.7 Gy +/-2.00%, what is the maximum
dose the patient can receive (in Gy)?

A block of mass m begins at rest at the top of a ramp at elevation
h with whatever PE is associated with that height.
The block slides down the ramp over a distance d until it reaches
the bottom of the ramp. How much of its original total energy (in
J) survives as KE when it reaches the ground?

friction does not remove 100% of the original PE. How much of that
original energy is left over after the friction does work to remove
some?)

To leave Nicholson, you exit via the door to the quad. The door is
40 inches wide and has a mass of 200 kg.
You push the door with a perpendicular force of 51.43N exactly
0.89m away from the hinge. This generates the minimum torque,
\tau_1, required to open the door.
If you pushed the door 0.24m away from the hinge, with what force
(in N) must you push the door to supply the same torque?

In figure skating, a triple Axel is a jump in which the figure skater
leaps into the air while facing forward, performs 3.5 revolutions,
and then lands facing backwards.
During the spin, the skater hugs his/her arms close to the body.
Choose the answer that best explains WHY the figure skater does
this. Think about the experiment you performed on the rotating
stool.
Due to conservation of angular momentum, decreasing the effec-
tive radius of the figure skater by pulling in the arms increases the
angular velocity of the figure skater. This allows the figure skater
to spin faster in the air to fully complete the triple Axel.
You are swinging a yo-yo around in a circle above your head. As-
sume this is a perfect system: the mass of the string is negligible,
the yo-yo is a point mass and your arm is a perfectly vertical axis
of rotation.
Given the mass of the yo-yo is m and the length of the string
(radius of the circle traced by the yo-yo) is L, you find the moment
of inertia to be I. If you double the length of the string, what is the
new moment of inertia?
Hint: Consider the equation for moment of inertia of a point mass
about an axis in your lab manual.

cause because the rain increases the mass of the system (which
increases the moment of inertia). Correct
