You are working as an intern for a meteorological laboratory. You are out in the field taking measurements from a balloon that is carrying equipment designed to measure electric fields in the atmosphere. Your supervisor has asked you to determine the average volume charge density at a certain height in the air. When the balloon is at an altitude of 600 m above the ground, the electric field is measured to be 120 N/C directed downward. At 700 m above the ground, the electric field is 110 N/C downward. (a) Determine the average volume charge density (in C/m3) in the layer of air between these two elevations. (Enter the magnitude.) C/m3

You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in the figure below. (i) The plates are of length ℓ = 0.750 m and are separated by a distance d = 4.95 cm. Electrons are fired at vi = 5.50×106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward. (a) Determine the range of angles (in degrees) over which the electron can leave the apparatus. (Assume θ is measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. Enter your answers as a comma-separated list from smallest to largest. Do not enter units in your answer. ) (θmin, θmax) = ( )。 (b) Determine the electric field (in N/C ) required to give the maximum possible deviation angle. (Enter the magnitude.) N/C

You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. (i) The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.600 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 20.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude B = 2.30 T. The electromagnetic force on the rod is parallel to the rails, causing the rod to roll to the right in the figure. When a full-scale device is produced, this rod will represent the axle of wheels on which the car and its passengers ride. The electromagnetic force on the axle will provide the motion of the car at the beginning of the roller-coaster ride. Your supervisor wants to test the substructure in the figure in a flat outdoor area on the grounds of the company. By projecting the rod from the rails in a horizontal direction from a height h = 2.20 m, the projection speed can be determined from how far from the ends of the rails the rod hits the ground. Your supervisor asks you to determine the length of the outdoor area needed to test the device. (Determine the total horizontal distance, in m, from the initial position of the rod on the tracks to the final position of the rod where it lands on the ground.) m

You are visiting your relatives in the Los Angeles basin on a warm day in late September. Everyone is talking about how windy and warm it is because of the Santa Ana conditions. In these conditions, winds that normally blow from west to east reverse direction, so that air comes westward over the mountains that surround Los Angeles and down into the basin. As a packet of air descends from a location in the mountains into the basin, it is compressed adiabatically, causing it to become hotter. Suddenly, the conversation stops when someone remembers you are taking physics, and everyone turns to look at you. Your uncle asks you on behalf of the rest of your family to show them a calculation that explains why the Santa Ana winds are so warm. He says that he has been to the Cajon Pass, with an elevation of 1,151 m. Every time he has been there, he has noticed strong winds, especially during Santa Ana conditions, when the air to the east and north of southern California pours westward through the passes. Your aunt is looking on her smartphone and tells you that the atmospheric pressure varies with elevation nearly linearly between sea level and low mountain altitudes, with a reduction of 12 Pa for each meter of increased elevation. Your uncle says that the air temperature was 67.3∘F when he was in the Cajon Pass. Everyone starts clamoring and begging you for a calculation that would show the temperature of the air in a Santa Ana wind on that day in the Los Angeles basin. What temperature do you calculate (in ∘F) ? (Assume air is a diatomic gas and that the Los Angeles basin has a pressure of 1 atm. ) ∘F
