University Physics Volume 1

A camera weighing $10 \mathrm{N}$ falls from a small drone hovering $20 \mathrm{m}$ overhead and enters free fall. What is the gravitational potential energy change of the camera from the drone to the ground if you take a reference point of (a) the ground being zero gravitational potential energy? (b) The drone being zero gravitational potential energy? What is the gravitational potential energy of the camera (c) before it falls from the drone and (d) after the camera lands on the ground if the reference point of zero gravitational potential energy is taken to be a second person looking out of a building $30 \mathrm{m}$ from the ground?

Charge is distributed throughout a spherical shell of inner radius $r_{1}$ and outer radius $r_{2}$ with a volume density given by $\rho=\rho_{0} r_{1} / r, \quad$ where $\rho_{0}$ is a constant. Determine the electric field due to this charge as a function of $r,$ the distance from the center of the shell.

Tony decides it is time to upgrade to a ring light for his viral videos, so he pushes his ancient lamp (weight = 150N) off the desk and into the garbage can. The coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the lamp and the desk are 0.54 and 0.42, respectively.

(a) What is the magnitude of the force Tony must exceed to move the lamp?
(b) Once it is moving, what is the magnitude of the force needed to keep the lamp in motion?

International undercover spy James Bond has been cornered by enemy agents when Barbara, his spying partner, saves him. She swings down holding onto a rope, grabs James, and the two swing away together to safety. The rope is 27 m long, and Barbara starts her swing with the rope horizontal. Barbara has a mass of 55 kg, and James's mass is 87 kg. How high, relative to their lowest point, will the pair rise after the rescue? (Assume the rope is vertical when Barbara grabs James.)

You are walking along a small country road one foggy morning and
come to an intersection. While you are crossing, you hear an
ambulance siren. As a paramedic, you know that the siren sounds at
a frequency of 8.27 kHz. But, as an amateur musician with perfect
pitch, you can tell that the frequency you are hearing is actually
7.57 kHz. At what speed is the ambulance traveling? (Answer in
MPH)

A coaxial cable has an inner wire carrying current I = 10 A into the page and an outer sheath carrying current I = 10 A out of the page.
Calculate the magnetic field B at a distance r = 1 cm using Ampere's law: B = (µ0 * I) / (2π * r). This point is inside the coaxial cable.
Calculate the magnetic field B at a distance r = 10 cm using Ampere's law: B = (µ0 * I) / (2π * r). The point is outside the coaxial cable.
