A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just on the verge of skidding to the outside of the curve. A front view of a car driving on a banked curve. The cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car. Which forces are directly responsible for producing the car’s centripetal acceleration? Coriolis force centripetal force frictional force normal force gravitational force

An experiment is designed to test the relationship between the initial height of a basketball before it is dropped to the height of its rebound bounce. the height of the rebound bounce is measured using a scale positioned behind the ball. in the above experiment, which condition would not be controlled? a). the starting height of the ballb). the surface the ball bounces on c). the type of ball d). the method to measure the rebound height of the ball

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

While goofing off at the ice skating rink, a student takes off her shoes and places each of them on the ice. her friend, a hockey player, then shoots a hockey puck at each shoe. the first puck immediately comes to rest after it collides with the left shoe. the second puck rebounds after it collides with the right shoe. if each hockey puck has the same incoming speed, which shoe has greater speed after the collision? the right shoe. both shoes have the same speed. the left shoe.
