Calculate final velocity just before bullet-block system : A small 2 g bullet moving at V0= 2000 m/s, inbeds itself in a 1kg block at the top of an inclined plane with an angle of θ= 450. The combined system then becomes a projectile, landing on the ground 10 m below the top of the incline. Calculate the f..

Diffraction envelope of double-slit diffraction pattern : Suppose that the central diffraction envelope of a double-slit diffraction pattern contains 11 bright fringes and the first diffraction minima eliminate (are coincident with) bright fringes. How many bright fringes lie between the first and second..

Phase difference between the huygens wavelets : A 0.10-mm-wide slit is illuminated by light of wavelength 589 nm. Consider a point P on a viewing screen on which the diffraction pattern of the slit is viewed; the point is at 30° from the central axis of the slit.

Horizontal surface on which coefficient of kinetic friction : A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.28. Its velocity at point A is 8.0 m/s and at point B is 4.8 m/s. Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long the sled takes to travel from A to B.

What is the speed of the five-car train : Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at 1.6 m/s . A fourth car traveling east at 4.4 m/s catches up with the three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the ..

Right half has no friction because it is coated with oil : A uniform marble rolls down a symmetric bowl, starting from rest at the top of the left side. The top of each side is a distance above the bottom of the bowl. The left half of the bowl is rough enough to cause the marble to roll without slipping, ..

What are the speed and the direction of the resulting : A 16 g ball of clay traveling east at 3.4 m/s collides with a 30 g ball of clay traveling north at 2.0 m/s. What are the speed and the direction of the resulting 46 g ball of clay?

An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field : An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field given by =Bx i +(2.40 Bx) j . At a particular instant, the electron has velocity =(1.92 i +4.61 j ) m/s and the magnetic force acting on it is (3.08 X 10-19 N) k. Find Bx.
