You go sledding down a very hill close to a major highway. At the bottom of the hill is a smaller hill (5 meters tall) acting as a barrier to the highway. You get a running start of 4 m/s. Use a mass of 1 kg. How high up the hill can you start without going over the smaller hill into traffic?

Research the neutrino using the internet and report your findings. in a nuclear decay, the nucleus of an atom splits apart. larger particles can be detected and their masses and velocities can be recorded. explain how the existence and properties of the neutrino could be predicted using the conservation laws.

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.

At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. this raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. the amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° c. what is the standard deviation of the temperature increase?
