A firearm can be modeled as a kind of heat engine, where the projectile acts as a piston that separates from the rest of the system during expansion. Consider a gun with a 1.60 kg barrel made of iron [specific heat = 448 J/(kg⋅∘C)]. The gun fires a 3.40 g bullet that exits the barrel with a speed of 340 m/s. When the propellant is ignited, 1.10% of the energy released goes into propelling the bullet (this is the thermal efficiency of the "engine"). The other 98.9% can be approximated as being entirely absorbed by the barrel, which increases in temperature uniformly for a short time before this energy is dissipated into the surroundings. What is this temperature increase (in ∘C)? (Round your answer to at least one decimal place.) ∘C

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

(a) In a minor rail yard accident, a runaway goods truck of mass 1.85×104 kg collides at u = 20.0 ms−1 with a stationary truck of mass 2.20×104 kg, as shown in Figure 3. The trucks lock together and travel at the same speed after the collision. Assume friction is negligible. Figure 3 Sketch of the runaway and stationary goods trucks, for use in Question 10. (i) Show that the speed of the trucks after the collision is 9.14 ms−1. (ii) One of the truck wheels can be modelled as a solid disk of radius 4.60×10−1 m and moment of inertia 36.5 kgm2. Calculate the magnitude of the wheel's angular momentum after the collision. (iii) The truck's linear velocity vector is in the positive x-direction using the Cartesian coordinate system shown in Figure 3. What is the direction of the wheel's angular momentum vector? Briefly explain your reasoning. (b) The train driver sounds the train's whistle. The whistle is a pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other, and it has a length of 0.480 m. The speed of sound in air is 343 ms−1. (i) Sketch the standing wave pattern of the air pressure in the whistle for its fundamental resonant frequency. Clearly indicate the open and closed ends of the whistle pipe. (ii) Hence calculate the frequency of the sound made by the whistle's fundamental resonance. (c) An observer standing on a bridge above the train track hears the whistle as the train approaches at a speed of 40.0 ms−1. (i) Show that the whistle frequency perceived by the observer is 13.2% greater than the frequency perceived by the driver. (ii) Describe how the sound of the whistle, as heard by the observer, will change as the train approaches and goes past the bridge.
