**6: On Neil deGrasse Tyson’s reboot of *Cosmos*, he stands at the edge of an auditorium stage holding a bowling ball suspended by a steel cable. He releases the ball from rest while standing motionless and watches it return to the point depicted below. Why is he in no danger?****A) Neil has a hard nose so he won’t get hurt.** **B) The total mechanical energy in the system is fixed when he releases the ball. The bowling ball stops at the point in question because it would require extra energy for the ball to hit his nose.** **C) Gravity and tension point in opposite directions, so the bowling ball keeps moving at constant velocity. With no net force, Neil is in no danger.** **D) Neil is using “The Force” to control the movement of the bowling ball with his mind.****7 & 8: Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same velocity when each driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the wheels. The most massive car is car F, the least massive is car H, and all three cars have identical tires.**

One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle witha property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? Am,m2 Consider a new expression for gravitation potential energy as: PEgrav where A is a constant, mq and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. Moreover, the new particle has an additional interaction with the heavy particle through the following force expression 1 qQ Fnew= 4πεο where Eo is a constant that is read as epsilon subscript 0, q and Q are their new properties, r is the distance between the new particle and the heavy particle. Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy…

Problem A newly discovered light positively charged particle has a mass of m and charge q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a positive charge Q and mass M. When the light partidle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directily away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? (Consider the Newtonian Gravitation acting between the two charged particles. Ignore the effects of external forces) Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy theorem. To avoid the complexity of vector solution, we will instead employ the Work-Energy theorem, more specifically, the Conservation of Energy Principle. Let us first name the lighter particle as object 1 and the heavy particle as object 2. Through work-energy theorem, we will take into account all of the energy of the…

You are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?
