At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 . At the same instant a truck, traveling with a constant speed of 20 m/s overtakes and passes the car at the same intersection. The car eventually overtakes the truck. Draw a motion diagram for both the car and the truck. 1. How far beyond its starting point does the car overtake the truck?

2. How fast is the car traveling when it overtakes the truck?

1. Show ALL equations, then substitution of numerical values with units.

2. If you have a string of numbers with no preceding equation, sketch, or explanation, you will receive NO CREDIT even if it leads to the correct answer.

3. Make sure all symbols used are clearly identified on your sketch. BOX each required answer. Show work in a Logical Order – Don’t jump around.

A150 w lamp emits light of wavelength 590 nm uniformly in all directions. what is the photon flux (photons per unit area per unit time) on a small screen at a distance 2.3 m from the lamp? assume the photons are uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere of radius 2.3 m.

The percent efficiency of a machine can never be 100% (or greater), because in the real world some energy is always converted into a. heat b. work c. input force d. output force

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!
