Imagine you are an auto designer. Your job is to design brakes for different automobiles. Explain what you need to consider about momentum when designing brakes for a heavy truck, a small car, and a van.

In raising a 6200-n piano with a pulley system, the movers note that, for every 2.2 m of rope pulled down, the piano rises 0.12 m . ideally, find the force required to lift the piano.

An object weighs 40n in air, weighs 20n when submerged in water and 30n when submerged in a liquid of unknown density. what is the density of the liquid?

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
