Consider a mass m moving in two dimensions with potential energy u (x, y) = 2 1 kr 2 , wherer 2 = x 2 + y 2 . write down the lagrangian, using coordinates x and y, and find the two lagrangeequations of motion. describe their solutions. [this is the potential energy of an ion in an "iontrap", which can be used to study the properties of individual atomic ions.]

Agalvanometer has an internal resistance of 100 ω and deflects full-scale at 2.00 ma. what size resistor should be added to the galvanometer to convert it to a milliammeter capable of reading up to 4.00 ma, and how should this resistor be connected to the galvanometer?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
