Nikolai is using a hand-operated grain mill to grind wheatberries into flour. The mill is operated by spinning a fly-wheel with radiusR= 23 cm, which has a handle attachedto the outer edge. After grinding for a few minutes at a con-stant angular speedωi, he lets go of the handle and allows themechanism to come to rest as it undergoes constant angularacceleration. This happens over the course oft= 0.50 s, andthe flywheel undergoes a quarter of a rotation during this time. What is the linear tangential accelerationaof the handle as itcomes to rest? For the limits check, investigate what happenstoaas the time required to stop the flywheel becomes small(t→0).

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
