While visiting the amusement park, Sarah and Sam choose to ride the bumper cars while their instructor records video of their collisions. Back in the classroom, the students analyze a head-on-collision between Sarah and Sam's two cars. The velocity of each car after the collision is equal to the velocity of the other car before the collision (i. e., the cars switch velocities). What can the students infer about the masses of the bumper cars? A) Their masses are equal because both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
B) Their masses are unequal because both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
C) Their masses are unequal because neither momentum nor kinetic energy are conserved.
D) Their masses are unequal because neither momentum nor kinetic energy are conserved.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0
