You push a hockey puck that is initially at rest on slick ice by applying a constant force until the puck reaches a final velocity of 1 m/s. On the second attempt, you want the hockey puck to reach the same final velocity by applying a force that is twice as large. Therefore, you must exert the force for a time interval that is :

a. shorter than the time interval of your first attempt.
b. longer than the time interval of your first attempt.
c. the same as the time interval of your first attempt.

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.

The freezing and boiling point of a substance changes as the air pressure around it changes. for example, at a lower air pressure (higher altitude) it is easier for water molecules to escape from liquid into the air. in a high altitude city such as denver, colorado compared to a sea-level city such as houston, texas, water
