A gust of wind blows onto the sail of a 1200-kg boat causing the boat to speed up from 8 m/s to 9 m/s. Calculate the amount of energy added to the boat by the wind. Ignore the effects of any resistance (such as the water).

If two metal balls each have a charge of -10^-6 c and the repulsive force between them is 1 n, how far apart are they? (coulomb's constant is k = 9.0x 10^9 n-m^2/c^2? 9.5 m 9.0 mm 9.5 cm 0.9 m .

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

Road users moving into your lane, brake lights, and abrupt changes in road surface are a. rare at night b. indicators of potential hazards c. not worth worrying about before you reach them d. no problem for experienced drivers
