A lens with a negative focal length is a
diverging lens. The power in Diopters is the reci-
procal of the focal length in meters; thus
P = –1/0.5 = –2.0 D.
92.
B.
The product of force and time, Ft, is the
impulse and equals the change in momentum of
an object, pf – pi. The initial momentum of both
masses is zero. Since F and t are the same for
both masses, their final momenta must be the
same, so 2 N
4 sec = 8 kg-m/sec. (Note that the
3 kg mass is moving faster but has the same
momentum as the 6 kg mass.

C.
Gamma (
) emission is the emission of a
photon from an excited nucleus and will change
neither the charge nor mass number. The resulting
nuclide is the (unexcited) Cu
64. Emission of a neg-
ative electron,
, from the nucleus leaves it with
one additional unit of positive charge so that the
atomic number, z, increases by 1. The result is
30Zn
64. Emission of a positron,
+, leaves the
nucleus with one less positive charge and z
decreases by 1. The result is 28Ni
64. Note that the
mass changes are so small for beta decays that the
superscript mass number (64) remains the same in
all three cases.
94.
A.
The index of refraction is n = c/v, where c is
the speed of light in a vacuum (3
10
8 m/sec)
and v is the speed of light in the material. Here, vs
= 0.83 vw. Or vs = 0.83 c/nw = c/ns. Cancel c and
solve for ns = 1.6.
95.
B.
The Coulomb force law between charged
particles depends inversely on the square of the
distance between the particles. F = kq
1q2/r2. Here
the force increases by a factor of 4 because r2 is
one-half of r1.
96.
A.
Newton's second law states that the net force
equals the product of mass and acceleration: Fnet =
ma. In this case the net force is the difference
between the applied force (18 N) and the force of
friction (9 N): Fnet = Fa – Ff = 18 – 9 = (90)a.
97.
B.
The total momentum of the two-cart system
is zero before the students push off, and remains
zero after they separate. Then: 0 = m1v1 + m2v2.
Thus, v2 = 60 kg(1.2 m/sec)/(0.8 m/sec).
98.
B.
The initial kinetic energy is used up in doing
work against the frictional force as the
student-cart is brought to rest. Using the conser-
vation of energy principle: Ff x = 1/2 mv
2, where
x = 8 m. Then : Ff = 20 N.
99.
C.
We know that the total angular momentum of
the student is conserved (constant). Because he is
capable of changing his moment of inertia about the
vertical axis of spin by extending his arms or pulling
them in, we can find the ratio of the moments of
inertia by using the conservation law in the form: I1
1 = I2
2. Then I2/I1 =
1/
2 = 1.5.
100.
D.
Linear momentum is conserved in this prob-
lem. The addition of mass causes a decrease in the
velocity as given by: m1v1 = (m1 + msand)V2. V2 =
1.6 m/sec.
101.
B.
The center-of-mass will not move because the
forces exerted by pulling on the rope are internal
forces to the two-cart system. It is nearer the larger
mass, and is found by using the formula for the cm:
Xcm = (m1x1 + m2x2)/(m1 + m2). We are allowed to
place the origin of the coordinate system anywhere
we choose. Placing the origin at the original posi-
tion of the larger mass, x1 = 0 and x2 = 2 m. Xcm =
(0 + (80)(2))/(200 kg) = 0.8 m.
102.
C.
Conservation of momentum applies to this
completely inelastic collision as follows: m1v1 =
(m1 + m2)V. Then V = (80 kg)(4 m/sec)(80 + 80) =
2 m/sec.
103.
B.
The net force accelerates the 100 kg mass
according to Newton's Third Law. The net force
here is the difference between the applied 90 N
force and the opposing friction force. Fnet = 90 – f
= ma = 100 kg
0.8 m/sec
2. Solving for f we find
that f = 10 N.
104.
B.
The falling weight can be isolated so that
we can apply Newton's third law to it alone. The
weight force due to the mass acts downward and
the 90 N tension upward. The third law then
shows that: mg – 90 = ma, which we solve for
the unknown mass, m. m(g – a) = 90 N. m(9.8 –
0.8) = 90. Then m = 10 kg.
