Chapter 37, Problem 37.67P
DATA You are a scientist studying small aerosol particles that are contained in a vacuum chamber. The particles carry a net charge, and you use a uniform electric field to exert a constant force of 8.00 × 10−14 N on one of them. That particle moves in the direction of the exerted force. Your instruments measure the acceleration of the particle as a function of its speed ʋ. The table gives the results of your measurements for this particular particle.
(a) Graph your data so that the data points are well fit by a straight line. Use the slope of this line to calculate the mass m of the particle. (b) What magnitude of acceleration does the exerted force produce if the speed of the particle is 100 m/s?

Please only use the formulas, constants, and units from the picture given. To simulate various processes on the surface on Mars, a labratory uses an Atwood machine to simulate Martian gravitational acceleration. An Atwood machine is a setup involving two objects connected by a string that runs over a pulley. For this problem, assume that the string and pulley are ideally frictionless, massless, and inextensible. One object is a bucket holding the subject of the labratory's experiment, which in total has a mass mb. The other object is a counterweight, whose mass Mc must be properly selected to ensure that the experiement's downward acceleration matches that of Martian gravity, gM. Part 1) The experimenter want the bucket to be accelerated as if it were being dropped near the surface of Mars. Which mass must be bigger, Mb (the bucket) or Mc (the counterweight)?

His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig.

What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)?
