P3. After a particularly cold night, Alice leaves a tub of water outside. You may consider
the ground and air to have temperatures of T. = -10°C and T = 10°C respectively. How
thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been
left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness
họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature
throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one-
dimensional. Density of ice and water are Pice = 920 kg/m³ and Pw = 1000 kg/m³. Ice and
water have thermal conductivities of kice = 2.22 WK-1m-1 and kiw = 0.556 W K-1m-1.
d) Answer the question shown in the image
A muggle at NYU College finds the magic wand of a student at NYU's sister school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She decides to use physics to figure out how to wield the wand. The student measures the wand to have total mass M and length L and draws a sketch of the wand below. She realizes that the wand is constructed to have an unusual mass density, which increases linearly from the lighterleft side (x = 0) to the heavier right side (x = L).
1. If the student wanted to balance the wand horizontally on the tip of her finger, under which point on the sketch should she place her finger?
2. If the student tries to spin the wand perpendicular to its axis with one of these points chosen as the pivot, around which point will the rotational inertia be the greatest?
3. If the student wants to wave the wand around as easily as possible, should they grasp it at the left end or the right end?
4. To perform a particular spell, the student finds they need to flick the want by a…

- 5- A student team is to design a human-powered submarine for a design competition. The overall length of the prototype submarine is 4.85 m, and its student designers hope that it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.550 m/s. The water is freshwater (a lake) at T = 15°C. The design team builds a one-fifth scale model to test in their university's wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. The air in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atmosphere pressure. At what air speed do they need to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?

- How does temperature affect the time measured by a pendulum clock? More precisely, consider a clock that uses a simple pendulum. The pendulum consists of a thin metal rod of length l. Recall that the angular frequency of a simple pendulum is w = g/l. Suppose on a hot day, the temperature is considerably above “average." How does the increased temperature affect the clock? a) The clock runs slow. So it reports a time behind actual time. b) The clock runs fast. So it reports a time ahead of actual time. c) The clock is not affected by the temperature. d) The answer depends on the mass of the simple pendulum.arrow_forwardA 17 cm radius air duct is used to replenish the air of a room 8.8m•5.0m•3.8m every 15 mins.
