Chapter 17, Problem 4P
Measure the lengths of the two arrows in the left and the right panels of Figure 17-5. Create a table listing the two before expansion values and the two after expansion values, list in the same table the changes in arrow lengths from before to after (that is, the change in the lengths of the arrows pointing to the two raisins). If you are the raisin from which the arrows point, formulate a general conclusion regarding the rate each raisin is moving toward or away from you and the distance to the raisin, using your data in your answer. (Hint: It will be more convenient to use the mm side of your ruler.)
Figure 17-5 An illustration of the raisin bread analogy for the expansion of the Universe As the dough rises, raisins are pushed apart with velocities proportional to distance A colony of bacteria living on any raisin will find that the redshifts of the other raisins are proportional to their distances.

A block of mass m₁ = 10.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m₂ = 34.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 34.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 200 N/m as shown in the figure below. The spring is
unstretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 10.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 22.0 cm down the incline of angle 0 = 40.0° and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the spring is again unstretched.

Truck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as in the figure below. The helper spring engages when the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, and then helps to
support any additional load. Consider a leaf spring constant of 5.45 × 105 N/m, helper spring constant of 3.60 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m.

Some 1800 years ago Roman soldiers effectively used slings as deadly weapons. The length of these slings averaged about 81 cm and the lead shot that they used weighed about 30 grams. If in the wind up to a release, the shot rotated around the Roman slinger with a period of .15 seconds. Find the maximum acceleration of the shot before being released in m/s^2 and report it to two significant figures.arrow_forwardIn the movie Fast X, a 10100 kg round bomb is set rolling in Rome. The bomb gets up to 17.6 m/s. To try to stop the bomb, the protagonist Dom swings the counterweight of a crane, which has a mass of 354000 kg into the bomb at 3.61 m/s in the opposite direction. Directly after the collision the crane counterweight continues in the same direction it was going at 2.13 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the bomb right after the collision?arrow_forward
