Question

Question asked by Filo student

Texts: A stream of positrons is moving around the warp drive in a circle. (A positron has the same mass and charge magnitude as an electron but is positively charged). a) How fast would a positron have to be going to move in a perfect circle around the warp drive at a distance of 0.2 meters above its surface (2 m from the center)? b) What is the positron's kinetic and potential energy in this configuration? (You can consider the spherical warp drive as a point charge at the center). c) What is the total change in energy of the positron if it moves in a perfect circle only 0.1 meters above the surface of the warp drive?

Fusion process, line combining two deutrons to form a He nucleus are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressure. This reasons for this can be traced to the fact
  1. nuclear forces have short range
  2. nuclei are positively charge
  3. the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fussion can take place
  4. the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other.

A weightlifter doing arm raises holds a weight. Her arm pivots around the elbow joint, starting below the horizontal (Fig. P11.58). Biometric measurements have shown that, together, the forearms and the hands account for of a person's weight. Since the upper arm is held vertically, the biceps muscle always acts vertically and is attached to the bones of the forearm from the elbow joint. The center of mass of this person's forearm-hand combination is from the elbow joint, along the bones of the forearm, and she holds the weight from her elbow joint.(a) Draw a freebody diagram of the forearm.(b) What force does the biceps muscle exert on the forearm? (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the force that the elbow joint exerts on the forearm.(d) As the weightlifter raises her arm toward a horizontal position, will the force in the biceps muscle increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?

Texts: 8 & 9 seem to be the most confusing! III An Inelastic Collision between carts of different masses and approximately equal initial speeds (but in opposite directions). 2.0 CART2 1.0 Distance (m) CART-L 0.0 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 Time (s) 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 1.0 0.8 Cart 1 Velocity (m/s) -1.0 Cart2 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 Time (s) 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 This time we'll assume that cart 1 has a mass M = 0.300 kg. Based on the position vs. time graph, but without doing any detailed calculations, is the mass of cart 2 greater or less than 0.300 kg? 8.1 From graph 1, determine the velocity of the two carts as they move together after the collision? ± m/s In this "perfectly inelastic" collision, estimate the mass of cart 2 M ± kg.
