A spring with unstretched length of 14.3 cm has a spring constant of 4.63 N/m. The spring is lying on a horizontal surface, and is
attached at one end to a vertical post. The spring can move freely around the post. The other end of the spring is attached to a puck
of mass m. The puck is set into motion in a circle around the post with a period of 1.32 s. Assume the surface is frictionless, and the
spring can be described by Hooke's law.
(a) What is the extension of the spring as a function of m? (Assume x is in meters and m is in kilograms. Do not include units in
your answer.)

A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 860 kg. It has strayed too close to
a black hole having a mass 98 times that of the Sun. The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance
between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km.
100 m-
10.0 km

(a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft.
The total force is determined by the distance from the black hole to the center of gravity of the ship which will be close to the
midpoint. N
(b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of
the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in acceleration grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It
puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.)

Q2: One Astronomical Unit (A.U.) is the average distance that the Earth orbits the
Sun and is equal to 1.4960 × 1011 m. The Earth moves 2 A.U. in one year,
what is this speed in SI units? (
Q3:
Suppose a well known professor Raitman discovers Raitman's Law which
states v = Br²/at², what are the SI units of the B parameter if r,v,a, and t are
displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time, respectively? (

- Because you are taking physics, your friend asks you to explain the detection of gravity waves that was made by LIGO in early 2016. (See the section that discusses LIGO.) To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…arrow_forwardQ6: Water in a river 1.6 km wide flows at a speed of 6.0 km h−1.
