Beverage can is thrown upward and then falls back down to the floor. as usual, a y axis extends upward (positive direction). which of the following best describes the acceleration of the can during its free flight?
a) -9.8 m/s^2, then momentarily zero, then +9.8 m/s^2
b) +9.8 m/s^2 throughout
c) -9.8 m/s^2 throughout
d) zero throughout
e) +9.8 m/s^2, then momentarily zero, then -9.8 m/s^2

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

What determines the amount of inertia an object has

Aparticle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. at time zero, the particle is at x = 6 m, y = 8.5 m, and has velocity ~vo = (9 m/s) ˆı + (−2.5 m/s) ˆ . the acceleration is given by ~a = (4.5 m/s 2 ) ˆı + (3 m/s 2 ) ˆ . what is the x component of velocity after 3.5 s? answer in units of m/s.
