Portfolio Problem 3. A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a speed vo
from the floor of a room of height h. It hits the ceiling and then returns to the
floor, from which it rebounds, managing just to hit the ceiling a second time.
Assume that the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the floor, e, is
equal to that between the ball and the ceiling. Compute e.
Portfolio Problem 4. Consider two identical springs, each with natural length
and spring constant k, attached to a horizontal frame at distance 2l apart. Their
free ends are attached to the same particle of mass m, which is hanging under
gravity. Let z denote the vertical displacement of the particle from the hori-
zontal frame, so that z < 0 when the particle is below the frame, as shown in
the figure. The particle has zero horizontal velocity, so that the motion is one
dimensional along z.

- Portfolio Problem 2. A particle of mass m slides in a straight line (say along i) on a surface, with initial position x ©0 and initial velocity Vo > 0 at t = 0. The = particle is subject to a constant force F = -mai, with a > 0. While sliding on the surface, the particle is also subject to a friction force v Ff = -m fo = −m fov, with fo > 0, i.e., the friction force has constant magnitude mfo and is always opposed to the motion. We also assume fo 0, and solve it to find v(t) and x(t). How long does it take for the particle to come to a stop? How far does it travel? (b) After coming to a stop, the particle starts sliding backwards with negative velocity. Write the equation of motion in this case, and solve it to find the time at which the particle returns to the original position, x = 0. Show that the final speed at x 0 is smaller than Vo. = Express all your answers in terms of a, fo and Vo.arrow_forward= Portfolio Problem 1. A particle of mass m is dropped (i.e., falls down with zero initial velocity) at time t 0 from height h. If the particle is subject to gravitational acceleration only, i.e., a = −gk, determine its speed as it hits the ground by solving explicitly the expressions for its velocity and position. Next, verify your result using dimensional analysis, assuming that the general relation is of the form v = khag³m, where k is a dimensionless constant.arrow_forwardReview Conceptual Example 2 before attempting this problem.

What is the distance on the screen between the third-order red fringe and the third-order yellow- green fringe? m = 3 m = 3 m= 0 m = 3 m = 3 Fringes on observation screenarrow_forward
- In the figure below, a semicircular conductor of radius R = 0.260 m is rotated about the axis AC at a constant rate of 130 rev/min. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.22 T fills the entire region below the axis and is directed out of the page. In this illustration, a wire extends straight to the right from point A, then curves up and around in a semicircle of radius R. On the right side of the semicircle, the wire continues straight to the right to point C. The wire lies in the plane of the page, in a region of no magnetic field. Directly below the axis A C is a region of uniform magnetic field pointing out of the page, vector Bout. If viewed from the right, the wire can rotate counterclockwise, so that the semicircular part can rotate into the region of magnetic field.
