From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the ground. As the drawing shows, the bullet puts a hole in a window of another building and hits the wall that faces the window. Using the data in the drawing, determine the distances (a) D and (b) H, which locate the point where the gun was fired. Assume that the bullet does not slow down as it passes through the window.

A scientist builds an apparatus to measure the charge to mass ratio of ions. An ion is first accelerated to a speed of 4.50×107 m/s. It then passes through a region of magnetic field, with a magnitude of 2.44×10−2 T, perpendicular to the ion's velocity. Because the ion is moving so fast, it is only in the presence of the magnetic field for 2.00×10−7 s. Upon exiting the magnetic field, the scientist measures that the ion was deflected a distance of 3.00 cm in a direction perpendicular to its initial velocity. (a) What is the ratio of the absolute value of the ion's charge to its mass (in C/kg )? Assume the velocity change is small, and that the component of the velocity along the ion's original direction does not change noticeably. |q| m = Cg (b) Suppose the scientist determines the ion is singly charged; that is, the magnitude of its charge is that of a proton. What is the mass of the ion (in kg)? kg

The two ends of a length of chain are attached so that the chain makes a circle. If the chain is then spun very quickly, it can roll along the ground like a bicycle tire without crumpling. Consider the rolling chain shown in the figure. Assume the chain has uniform linear mass density μ and its center of mass moves to the right at a speed v0. (a) Determine the tension in the chain in terms of μ and v0. Assume the weight of an individual link is negligible compared to the tension. T = (b) If the loop rolls over a small bump, the resulting deformation of the chain causes two transverse pulses to propagate along the chain, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. What is the speed of the pulses traveling along the chain? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) v = (c) Through what angle (in rad) does each pulse travel during the time interval over which the loop makes one revolution? (Assume the angle is measured clockwise from the ground. ) clockwise-traveling pulse rad counterclockwise-traveling pulse rad

A 30.0−g metal ball having net charge Q = 5.10 μC is thrown out of a window horizontally north at a speed v = 21.4 m/s. The window is at a height h = 19.8 m above the ground. A uniform, horizontal magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.0100 T is perpendicular to the plane of the ball's trajectory and directed toward the west. (a) Assuming the ball follows the same trajectory as it would in the absence of the magnetic fleld, find the magnetic force acting on the ball just before it hits the ground. (Let the +x-direction be toward the north, the +y-direction be up and the +z-direction be east.) F→B = N (b) Based on the result of part (a), is it justified for three-significant-digit precision to assume the trajectory is unaffected by the magnetic field? Yes No Explain.
