Q- Two charges Qc and -Qc (Qc = 4 µC) are fixed on the x-axis at x = -6 cm and x = 6 cm, respectively. A third charge Qb = 5 µC is fixed at the origin. A particle with charge q = 0.5 µC and mass m = 6 g is placed on the y-axis at y = 14 cm and released. There is no gravity. Calculate the initial …
Thermodynamics
Q- The initial state of 1.00 mol of a gas is P1 = 6.00 atm, V1 = 5.00 L, and Eint 1 = 790 J, The gas is allowed to expand at constant pressure to a volume of 9.00 L. It is then cooled at constant volume until its pressure is 4.00 atm and its final state becomes P2 = 4.00 atm, V2 = 9.00 L, and Eint 2
Rotational motion
Q- A globe of mass M and radius R can rotate about its fixed vertical axis. A block of mass m is attached by a massless string/pulley system as shown. As the block is released, it causes the globe to spin. If the block starts at rest, at what speed does the block hit the ground after it falls a dis…

Q- An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction m between the object and the surface. The object has speed v when it reaches x = 0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and then recoils and travels in the opposite di…

Q- An electron in Chromium (Z=24) moves from the n=2 to the n=1 state without emitting a photon. Instead, the excess energy is transmitted to an outer electron (n=4 state), which is emitted. This is called an Auger Electron. Using ionization considerations, calculate the kinetic energy of the Auger …
