* After the experiment in Problem 17.17, you touch the sphere on the stand with your hand. Then you touch that sphere with the sphere on the handle. Draw a force-versus-time graph for the force that one sphere exerts on the other as you move the sphere on the handle slowly and steadily away from the sphere on the stand. How is this graph different from the graph in the previous problem?

- QUESTION 2 Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: a Fnew=x + Be* + 3x4 where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x, to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = dx Evaluating the above, we get W = for the limits from x; to Xf substituting x1 and x, as the limits, the work done is expressed as W = Bi X1 ( x15 - x2)arrow_forwardYou hang a book bag on a spring scale and place the bag on a platform scale so that the platform scale reads 29.7 N and the spring scale reads 17.6 N. Part A Draw a force diagram for the bag to represent the situation. Fs on B is the elastic force exerted by the spring on the bag, Np on B is the normal force exerted by the platform scale on the bag, and FE on B is the gravitational force exerted by Earth on the bag. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.arrow_forwardA sled starts from rest at the top of the frictionless, hemispherical, snow-covered hill shown in the figure. Find an expression for the sled's speed when it is at angle ø. Use Newton's laws to find the maximum speed the sled can have at angle ø without leaving the surface. At what angle ømax does the sled "fly off" the hill? Rarrow_forward
- In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forwardA loop-the-loop section of a track is set up in a General Physics laboratory.
