Consider a line of people, like the line you considered earlier, but closely packed, like particles in a solid. What action could cause an involuntary wave pulse go through this line, and what kind of would it start? The answer below should both describe an involuntary wave and describe the type of wave pulse accurately.

A. The person at the front of the line stretches her body to the side. It would start a transverse wave pulse.
B. Somebody runs into the last person in line, and bumps him accidentally. It would start a transverse wave pulse.
C. The person at the front of the line falls backward into the person behind him. It would start a longitudinal wave pulse.
D. The person at the front of the line stretches her arms out while yawning. It would start a longitudinal wave pulse.

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. these cyclotrons typically accelerate h- (the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5 mev to 20 mev. this ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible—about 1 2000 of the proton’s mass. a typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9 t. (a) what is the speed of a 5.0-mev h-? (b) if the h- has energy 5.0 mev and b = 1.9 t, what is the radius of this ion’s circular orbit?

To practice problem-solving strategy 10.1 for energy conservation problems. a sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. after the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. find the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the sled and the ground, assuming that it is constant throughout the trip.
