Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Telephone line A telephone lineman is told to stretch the wire between two poles so the poles exert an 800-N force on the wire. As the lineman does not have a scale to measure forces, he decides to measure the speed of a pulse created in the wire when he hits it with a wrench. The pulse travels 60 m from one pole to the other and back again in 2.6 s. The 60-m wire has a mass of 15 kg. Should the wire be tightened or loosened? Explain. What assumptions did you make?

6. Mass spectrometry uses magnetic field to separate isotopes (same element, but different atomic masses), so we can
get the relative abundance of the different isotopes of a given element. For example, Chlorine has two naturally
occurring isotopes: Cl-35 has a mass of 5.812 x 10-26 kg and Cl-37 has a mass of 6.144 x 10-6 kg. If both of these
are ionized to a singly charged ion (q = -1.602 × 10-" C), and accelerated through a voltage of 400 V,
(a) what is the diameter of the semicircular path travelled by each of the isotopes in a uniform magnetic field of
0.10 T? See the figure below for the geometry.
lonizer
(b) The results can be further refined by a velocity selector so only ions with a specific velocity enters the magnetic
field (see below). If the electric field in the velocity selector is 2000 N/C, what magnetic field strength is needed to
have only ions with speed of 4.60 x 10' m/s to pass through undeflected? In that case, what is the diameter of the
semicircular path…

- CASE STUDY In Example 34.6 (page 1111), we imagined equipping 1950DA, an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, with a solar sail in hopes of ejecting it from the solar system. We found that the enormous size required for the solar sail makes the plan impossible at this time. Of course, there is no need to eject such an object from the solar system: we only need to change the orbit. A much more pressing problem is Apophis, a 300-m asteroid that may be on a collision course with the Earth and is due to come by on April 13, 2029. It is unlikely to hit the Earth on that pass, but it will return again in 2036. If Apophis passes through a 600-m keyhole on its 2029 pass, it is expected to hit the Earth in 2036. causing great damage. There are plans to deflect Apophis when it comes by in 2029. For example, we could hit it with a 10- to 150-kg impactor accelerated by a solar sail. The impactor is launched from the Earth to start orbiting the Sun in the same direction as the Earth and Apophis. The idea is to use a solar sail to accelerate the impactor so that it reverses direction and collides head-on with Apophis at 8090 km/s and thereby keeps Apophis out of the keyhole. Consider the momentum in the impactors orbit (Fig. P34.75) when the solar sail makes an angle of = 60 with the tangent to its orbit. Current solar sails may be about 40 m on a side, but the hope is to construct some that are about 160 m on a side. Estimate the impactors tangential acceleration when it is about 1 AU from the Sun. Keep in mind that the sail is neither a perfect absorber nor a perfect reflector, and a heavier impactor would presumably be equipped with a larger sail. Dont be surprised by what may seem like a very small acceleration. FIGURE P34.75arrow_forwardA possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this solar sail. Suppose a sail of area A = 6.00 105 m2 and mass m =6.00 103 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1 370 W/m2. (a) What force is exerted on the sail? (b) What is the sails acceleration? (c) Assuming the acceleration calculated in part (b) remains constant, find the time interval required for the sail to reach the moon, 3.84 108 m away, starting from rest at the Earth.arrow_forwardYou are working for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. One day, you receive a radio communication from an alien intelligence. Although you cannot understand their language, they have included some photos from an I Love Lucy episode. The photos allow you to determine that it is the episode in which Lucy makes a television commercial on Vitameatavegamin. This episode first aired on CBS on May 5, 1952. Before running to your supervisor to tell him the news, you quickly determine how far away in light-years the alien civilization is.arrow_forward

How do pacemakers and defibrillators help to prolong life for patients suffering from this condition?arrow_forwardA cyclometer is a device mounted on a bicycle that records and displays trip information such as elapsed time, distance traveled, and average speed. Modern versions employ small magnets attached to a spoke on either the front or rear wheel and a sensor located on the front fork or rear frame. As the magnet is carried past the detector once each wheel revolution, it produces an electrical pulse that is recorded and logged by an integrated circuit in the device. The distance traveled equals the total number of revolutions multiplied by the circumference of the wheel. (a) A typical mountain bike has a wheel diameter of 26 in. How far will a cyclist have traveled in both miles and kilometers if her cyclometer indicates that her front wheel has made 25,000 revolutions during her trip? (b) If the cyclometer clock shows that the elapsed time for the trip was 2 hours and 40 minutes, what was the rider’s average speed during this period?arrow_forwardCASE STUDY A person in Franklins time may have been able to provide the same advice we came up with in Example 23.2.

The timing of the synchronization signal is controlled by a set of atomic clocks to an accuracy of 101012 s, and repeats every 1 minute. The signal is used for devices, such as radio-controlled watches, that automatically synchronize with it at preset local times. WWVB's long wavelength signal tends to propagate close to the ground.
