II. Kinematics

  1. Some unproblematic particles tin can be detected simply past what they get out behind when they decay. Such a particle (called π0) decays into two particles (called γ's) which move at the speed of light, 3×10viii m/south, traveling in reverse directions. To discover where the π0 was -- that is, the place where the γ's started -- we place 2 γ-counters so that each receives one of the γ's, as in the figure. The distance between the counters is 2 1000, and the left counter responded x-ix seconds before the right counter. What is the altitude d?


    The altitude to i counter is d, that to the other counter is 2 - d (all distances in meters), then the flight time to 1 is d/c, and to the other (2-d)/c, where c is the speed of light. The divergence between these is the given 10−ninesouthward, then

    10−9 = (ii-d)/c - d/c.
    Multiply by c:
    10−9 × 3×108 = 0.3 = (ii - d) - d = 2 - 2d,
    and hence d = �(2 - 0.iii) = 0.85 one thousand
  2. At t = 0 a coach is moving towards its cease on a direct road with a speed 15 m/due south. The autobus cease is 320 yard ahead of the bus, and the bus arrives there at t = twenty s (and then its speed is zero at t = 20 southward). In that 20 s time interval, did the motorcoach
    • not accelerate nor decelerate
    • only accelerate
    • but decelerate
    • both advance and decelerate?
    Explicate your choice, giving a cogent reason why information technology must be correct.


    The bus must certainly decelerate to come to a terminate. Suppose it did not accelerate, then in xx s it could go at virtually (15 m/southward)(20s) = 300m. Only since the cease is further away than that, it must have accelerated earlier decelerating.
    Another manner to debate is by computing the 5av = 320m/20s = 16 m/s. The bus cannot become at an boilerplate speed of 16 g/south by only decelerating from xv m/due south.

  3. The speedometer on a car'southward dashboard reads on a linear scale. The scale 4.5 in long, with speed 0 at 0 cm, and speed 150 km/h = 42 1000/southward at iv.2 in. The car is accelerating at 2 m/s�. What is the speed in inches/2d of the accelerometer "needle" (that is, the pointer indicating the present speed) with respect to the motorcar'south dashboard?


    Since it does not matter at what speed the car is going, suppose it starts at speed 0, and accelerates for ane s. Information technology is then going at 2 m/s. The speedometer needle started at speed 0, hence position 0, and reached position 0.2 in after the 1 sec. (Since 42 1000/southward is indicated on the calibration at 4.ii in, ii one thousand/s is indicated at 0.2 in). Hence the needle's speed is 0.two in/ane southward = 0.ii in/south.

III. Dynamics

  1. You are twirling your keys of mass 1 kg on their key string in a vertical circle of radius ten cm = 0.1 m. At the meridian of their circular trajectory the string tension just reaches zip (the keys are in gratuitous fall at that moment).
    1. What is the keys' speed at the bottom of the circle?
    2. What is their acceleration at the bottom?
    3. What is the tension in the cord when the keys are at the bottom?

    i. In free fall, gravity provides the centripetal force, and so mg = mvsuperlative�/R. (This yields fivetop = 1 1000/s if thousand = 10 m/s�, simply it is better not to solve for v at this time because nosotros desire next to use conservation of free energy)
    Conservation of energy says (with v = speed at bottom)

    �mv� = �mvtop� + mg(2R) = �(mgR) + mg(2R) = (5/2)mgR, then v = √(5gR) = 2.21 m/southward

    two. At that place is no horizontal acceleration (angular velocity reaches maximum magnitude at bottom, so momentarily does non change). The etire acceleration is vertical, therefore centripetal, and determined by the speed alone, a = v�/R = 5gR/R = 5g = 49 m/southward�

    iii. The centripetal force consists of string tension (up) and gravity (down) so

    mv�/R = T − mg   T = 5mgR/R + mg = half-dozen mg = 58.8 N

  2. A car (treated as a indicate particle) is moving with constant speed along an S-shaped rail as shown. On the effigy, at the points indicated, accurately draw the car's acceleration vector. Utilize an capricious scale, but keep it the same at all the points.

  3. A roll of newsprint (paper for newspaper) has radius R, and paper is fed from it into the press press with a abiding speed v.
    1. What is the curlicue'southward athwart velocity (magnitude as formula, direction description in words)?
    2. How much time does it take for ane revolution? (formula in terms of R and 5)
    3. If the paper'southward thickness is t, the radius decreases by t in one revolution. What is the angular velocity after this decrease by t? (formula in terms of R, v, t)
    4. What is therefore the angular acceleration of the gyre? (slightly complicated formula in terms of R, 5, t)
i. ω = five/R direction along axis of rotation. If newspaper is coming off the lesser of the roll and the paper moves to the right, ω points out at the viewer.

two. Ane revolution moves a length 2πR of paper; to movement that altitude with velocity 5 takes a time Δt = 2πR/v.

iii. Since the radius is now R-t, the angular velocity is ω' = v/(R-t)

iv. α = Δω/Δt = (ω'−ω)/Δt = [5/R-tfive/R] (v/2πR) =     5�t

2πR�(R-t)

IV. Fluids

  1. A cart containing a crocodile can roll on a level frictionless rail.
    1. Initially the cart and crocodile are at rest, with the croc at the left wall of the cart. The croc at present starts to crawl to the right inside the cart. Volition the cart motility? If and so, in what direction? What law of physics tells you lot?

      The cart will move, in social club to conserve momentum. Frictionless track implies no external force, so the croc's momentum to the right has to be counterbalanced by the cart's momentum to the left.

    2. Next the cart is filled with water and starts out once more at remainder, with the croc swimming near the cart's left wall. Then the croc swims to the right. Will the cart move in this instance? Why?

      In this case the cart does not motion. While pond the crocodile displaces and equal weight, and hence equal mass, of water. The water and croc are in the enclosed volume of the cart, so when the croc swims to the right, and equal mass of water moves to the left, and momentum of croc + water is conserved, without the cart having to motion.
      All the same, this assumes that there is no friction between water and cart. If in that location is, there is no reason why the cart should non share in the momentum.


  2. Mr and Mrs Johnson (the ones who recently moved) are in a gunkhole, and their motor died. They have no oars, but there is a long rod that will reach to the bottom of the lake. Mr Johnson suggests to stick the rod vertically from the back of the boat into the mud on the lake's bottom, and pull forward on the summit of the rod. Mrs Johnson (as usual thinking most forces) predicts that this won't work, because Mr. Johnson will be pushing astern with his feet as difficult every bit he is pulling forward with his hands. Mr. Johnson (as usual thinking about work) argues "I'll be doing work, that must convert into K.Eastward., hence we and the boat will motion".
    1. Volition the boat motility? Explain

      The boat will motion. If it did not, nosotros could use the point of contact between pole and gunkhole as a fixed origin for calculating torques, which would have to add to zero. To balance Mr. Johnson'southward torque, there must be a foce at the bottom terminate of the pole. Only this forcefulness would be an external strength on the boat+pole system, a contradiction to the assumption that the gunkhole (+pole) does not motion.
      To show this without resorting to proof by contradiction, nosotros must take torques about the bottom of the pole, which is certain to exist stock-still. Considering the lever arms of the boat and of Mr Johnson'south hand are unequal, and their torques must exist the same (nosotros tin assume negligible mass, and hence negligible moment of inertia, of the pole), the ii forces must be unequal; their difference will propel the gunkhole.

    2. If yeah, think of the gunkhole, occupants, and pole as 1 organisation and fail friction with the water. Where does the force to the system get practical?
      If no, where does the piece of work get that Mr. Johnson does?

      The force is applied at the point where the pole is stuck in the mud of the lake bottom.
      If you answered that the gunkhole does non move, a consistent reply would be that whatever work Mr. Johnson does goes into angle the pole.


  3. A block, of density greater than that of water, is resting on a plane. The coefficient of friction betwixt aeroplane and block is μ = 1. The plane is tilted until the disquisitional angle is reached at which the block begins to slip.
    1. What is this critical angle (betwixt plane and horizontal)?

      Since tan θ = μ = one, θ = 45°.

    2. The experiment is repeated under h2o. The coefficient of friction remains the same. What is now the critical angle? Explain.

      It is the aforementioned, 45°. The buoyant force is vertical, reverse to the gravitational force. For statics, it is as if the mass of the block were reduced. But the equation for θ is independent of the block's mass.


  4. Ii cylindrical vessels containing a fluid, one twice the radius of the other, are connected at the lesser, and each carry a piston at the height. The pistons are connected by hinges to a horizontal bar. Where on the bar can a person sit (that is, where can a vertical force be applied to the bar) so the bar does non tilt? (specify what fraction of the bar'south length from left resp. right end)

    At equilibrium the pressure on the two pistons is the same, then the force is proportional to the piston's area, four times as large on the right than on the left. So the person should be 4 times further from the left piston than from the right (unlike what is shown in the figure). The person should exist 1/5 of the bar's length from the right end.

V. Lab

Note: The phrase "human error" should non appear in the answer to this question.

John performs an experiment in which he measures the period of a pendulum. He wishes to find the relationship betwixt the period of the pendulum and its length.
Existence a good experimentalist, John measures the time taken for five complete swings, and then obtains the menses by dividing this number by five.

  1. Why does John time five rather than merely one swing?
To reduce the random fault in the measurement, and to increment precision. (The method may nonetheless event in an inaccurate answer if systematic error is involved.)

Later performing the experiment for several lengths, with many trials per length, John creates the following graph:

The mistake bars are a measure
of the distribution of the
data collected for each length

John knows that the relationship should be T ~ √Fifty (——), but realizes that his graph likewise admits
a linear fit (· · · · ·).

  1. What does this say almost the accurateness of the experiment?

    The average values recorded are very shut to the truthful values, as tin can exist seen by looking at the T ~ √L line. Therefore, the experiment is accurate.

  2. What does this say about the precision of the experiment?

    The big error bars indicate that the experiment is not precise.
