    From Last Year’s Exam A pitcher throws a ball horizontally with a speed of 39 m/s to a catcher 18.5 m away. When the ball is caught, the height has decreased by X m. Find X.

    Different ways to transform this problem: 1) Give drop distance and ask for initial speed. 2) Give drop distance and ask for distance to catcher.

    A boat is trying to cross a 1-km wide river in the shortest way (straight across). Its maximum speed (in still water) is 10 km/h. The river is flowing with 5 km/h. 1) At what angle does the captain have to steer

    the boat the go straight across?

    2) How long does it take the boat to cross the river?

    sin = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/10 = 0.5 = sin-1(0.5) = 30o

    Question

    A ball of 1 kg rolls up a ramp, with initial velocity of 6 m/s. It reaches a maximum height of 1 m (i.e., the velocity is 0 m/s at that point). How much work is done by friction?

    a) 0.0 J b) 8.2 J c) 9.8 J d) 18 J e) 27.8 J

    Initial: ME = ½mv2 (kinetic only) = ½x1x62 = 18 J Final: ME = mgh (potential only) = 1x9.8x1 = 9.8 J Wnc = 18-9.8 = 8.2 J

    Friction (non-conservative) The pulley is now not frictionless. The friction force equals 5 N. What is the speed of the objects when they pass?

    Wnc = Ffrictionx = 5.00*2.00 = 10.0 J

    (PE+ KE)start-(PE+KE)passing = Wnc

    PEstart-PEpassing-KEpassing = Wnc

    PEstart- PEpassing = (m1gh + m2g(0)) – (m1gh/2 + m1gh/2) = (5*9.81*4 + 0)- (5*9.81*2 + 3*9.81*2) = (196.2) – (98.1 + 58.9) = 39.2 J

    From Exam 2 The motor for a toy Ferris wheel creates a torque of 15 Nm. The wheel requires 31 seconds to reach its design frequency of one revolution per 12 seconds. What is the moment of inertia of the wheel?

    Ways to modify this problem: 1) Give moment of inertia, solve for torque. 2) Give moment of inertia, solve for time. 3) Give moment of inertia, solve for frequency.

    B star

    Two planets are orbiting a star. The orbit of A has a radius of 108 km. The distance of closest approach of B to the star is 5x107 km and its maximum distance from the star is 109 km. If A has a rotational period of 1 year, what is the rotational period of B?

    RA = 108 km RB = ½(rmin+rmax) = ½(5x107+109) = 5.25x108 km

    Rmin = distance of closest approach. = perihelion Rmax = maximum distance = aphelion

    R3/T2 = constant RA3/TA2= RB3/TB2 so TB2=(RB3/RA3)TA2

    Mbullet=0.1 kg Vbullet=20 m/s

    h

    How high will the block go?

    There are 2 stages: • The collision • The Swing of the block

    The collision The bullet gets stuck in the block (perfect inelastic collision). Use conservation of momentum. m1v1i+m2v2i=vf(m1+m2) so: 0.1*20+1*0=vf(0.1+1) vf=1.8 m/s The swing of the block Use conservation of Mechanical energy. (mgh+½mv2)start of swing= (mgh+½mv2)at highest point 0+½1.1(1.8)2=1.1*9.81*h so h=0.17 m

    A helium balloon in an air-

    filled glass jar floats to the top.

    If the air is replaced with

    helium, what will happen to

    the helium balloon?

    a) It still floats at the top because it has positive buoyancy

    b) It stays in the middle because it has neutral buoyancy

    c) It sinks to the bottom because it has negative buoyancy

    d) The balloon shrinks in size due to the surrounding helium

    d) The balloon grows in size due to the lack of surrounding air

    The balloon floats initially because the displaced air weighs more than the

    balloon, so the buoyant force provides a net upward force. When the

    balloon is in the lighter helium gas (instead of air), the displaced helium

    gas does not provide enough of an upward buoyant force to support the

    weight of the balloon.

    e. Impossible to determine

    The path is counter clockwise, so this is a fridge. Net work (P1V1) was performed on the gas using heat from the gas, which was thus removed

    Another Example A gas goes from initial state I to final state F, given the parameters in the figure. What is the work done on the gas and the net energy transfer by heat to the gas for: a) path IBF b) path IF c) path IAF (Ui=91 J Uf=182 J)

    a) work done on gas: -area under graph: note the ‘-’ sign before area W=-(0.8-0.3)10-3*2.0*105=-100 J U=Uf-Ui=182-91=91 U=W+Q 91=-100+Q so Q=191 J b) W=-[(0.8-0.3)10-3*1.5*105 + ½(0.8-0.3)10-3*0.5*105]=-87.5 J U=W+Q 91=-87.5+Q so Q=178.5 J

    c) W=-[(0.8-0.3)10-3*1.5*105]=-75 J U=W+Q 91=-75+Q so Q=166 J

    The volume expands, positive work is done by the gas. So negative work is done on the gas. W is defined as Work on the gas.

    Another Example The efficiency of a Carnot engine is 30%. The engine absorbs 800 J of energy per cycle by heat from a hot reservoir at 500 K. Determine a) the energy expelled per cycle and b) the temperature of the cold reservoir. c) How much work does the engine do per cycle? a) Generally for an engine: efficiency: 1-|Qcold|/|Qhot| 0.3=1-|Qcold|/800, so |Qcold|=-(0.3-1)*800=560 J

    b) for a Carnot engine: efficiency: 1-Tcold/Thot 0.3=1-Tcold/500, so Tcold=-(0.3-1)*500=350 K

    c) W=|Qhot|-|Qcold|=800-560=240 J

    A new powerplant is designed that makes use of the temperature difference between sea water at 0m (200) and at 1-km depth (50). A) what would be the maximum efficiency of such a plant? B) If the powerplant produces 75 MW, how much energy is absorbed per hour? C) Is this a good idea?

    a) maximum efficiency=carnot efficiency=1-Tcold/Thot= 1-278/293=0.051 efficiency=5.1% b) P=75*106 J/s W=P*t=75*106*3600=2.7x1011 J efficiency=1-|Qcold|/|Qhot|=(|Qhot|-|Qcold|)/|Qhot|= W/|Qhot| so |Qhot|=W/efficiency=5.3x1012 J c) Yes! Very Cheap!! but… |Qcold|= |Qhot|-W=5.0x1012 J every hour 5E+12 J of waste heat is produced: Q=cmT 5E+12=4186*m*1 m=1E+9 kg of water is heated by 10C.

    Although the water is indeed hot, it releases only 1 cal/g of heat as it

    cools. The steam, however, first has to undergo a phase change into

    water and that process releases 540 cal/g, which is a very large amount of

    heat. That immense release of heat is what makes steam burns so

    dangerous.

    steam?

    a) water

    b) steam

    c) both the same

    Aluminum is the only material that has a larger b value than the

    steel ring, so that means that the aluminum rod will expand more

    than the steel ring. Thus, only in that case does the rod have a

    chance of reaching the top of the steel ring.
