a) Place the single weight with a known mass on the spring and release it. Eventually, the weight will come to rest at an equilibrium position, with the spring somewhat stretched compared to its original (unweighted) length. At this point, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. With the weight in its equilibrium position, how does the amount the spring is stretched depend on the value of the weight's mass? b) Use the simulation to compare the masses of the three colored and unlabeled weights of different sizes. To do so, set the spring constant of both springs to the same value. Hang known weights on the left spring and an unknown weight on the right spring, and compare the two. Use as many known weights as necessary to determine the unknown masses, and then place each into the appropriate mass bins in the ranking task below. Do the same for all three unknown weights. c)Recall that in the equilibrium position, the upward force of the spring balances the force of gravity on the weight. Use this concept, along with the variable mass value, the ruler, and the moveable line, to estimate the spring constant k of the spring. Set the damping to "Lots" so that the mass will come to rest quickly after being changed, and make sure the gravity is set to "Earth." Finally, set the spring constant to "Small." Estimate the spring constant several times (using different values of mass) and average together for the most accurate calculation. d) When is the elastic potential energy of the spring a maximum? e) When is the kinetic energy of the mass a maximum? f) Select Earth in the menu box so that there is now a force of gravity.

(It may help to watch the simulation in slow motion). g) How does the frequency of oscillation depend on the value of the mass? h) The amplitude of oscillation is the maximum distance between the oscillating weight and the equilibrium position. Determine the frequency of oscillation for several different amplitudes by pulling the weight down different amounts while still keeping the simulation within the top and botom boundaries. How does the frequency depend on the amplitude of oscillation? i) The spring constant can be adjusted with Spring Constant slider bar ("larger" means a greater spring constant, or stiffer spring). How does the frequency of oscillation depend on the spring constant?

When skydiver Nellie opens her parachute, the air drag pushing the chute upward is stronger than Earth's force of gravity pulling her downward. A friend says this means she should start moving upward. Why this isn't so, and what does happen?
During a short time the air resistance acting on Nellie indeed exceeds the force of gravity and produces a momentary upward net force and upward acceleration. This acceleration decreases her downward velocity but does not change its direction. The change of the speed decreases the air resistance until it is equal to the force of gravity which stops the further change of the speed.

In 1909, Robert Millikan was the first to find the charge of an electron in his now-famous oil-drop experiment. In that experiment tiny oil drops were sprayed into a uniform electric field between a horizontal pair of oppositely charged plates. The drops were observed with a magnifying eyepiece, and the electric field was adjusted so that the upward force on some negatively charged oil drops was just sufficient to balance the downward force of gravity. That is, when suspended, upward force qE just equaled mg. Millikan accurately measured the charges on many oil drops and found the values to be whole-number multiples of 1.6×10−19C, which turns out to be the charge of the electron. For this he won the Nobel Prize. (Figure 1) If a drop of mass 1.5×10−14kg remains stationary in an electric field of 4.59×105N/C, what is the charge of this drop?

The rate of energy emitted by the light bulb is its output power, commonly referred to as luminosity (brighter means more luminous). Hook up a light bulb to a 5-V battery. Right-click (or control-click) on the light bulb, and change its resistance. How does the brightness of the light bulb depend on its resistance? In Part H, you discovered that the luminosity of a light bulb increases if the current increases. The rate at which electric potential energy is converted into heat depends on the current flowing through the bulb and the voltage across the bulb. This energy is supplied by the battery. Mathematically, the luminosity PP of the light bulb is given by P=ΔVIP=ΔVI, where ΔVΔV is the voltage across the bulb and II is the current.What happens to the luminosity of the light bulb if the voltage of the battery is doubled? (Note that the PhET simulation does not display a numerical value for the luminosity, so you should use the relationship between the luminosity, the voltage across the bulb, and the current.)
the orange end The current flows from the positive terminal, through the wires and resistor, and into the negative terminal. 0.9 A equal to The current decreases by a factor of two. The current increases by a factor of two. The current increases. 9.0 V The light bulb gets dimmer as the resistance is increased. The luminosity increases by a factor of four.
Construct a circuit containing a battery, a resistor, a switch, and a capacitor (all in series), as shown in the figure below. Be sure the switch is open (which stops current through the switch) before you connect the entire circuit. Now, close the switch and monitor the resulting current through the circuit. After the switch is closed, Long after the switch is closed and the current becomes very small, what is the voltage difference across the capacitor? Now, repeat the experiment several times to investigate how the amount of time to charge the capacitor (resulting in a voltage difference equal to the emf of the battery) depends on the capacitance of the capacitor and the resistance of the resistor. Each time you repeat the experiment, you first need to open the switch and click on the capacitor to select the Discharge Capacitor icon. The amount of time __________ if the resistance is increased and __________ if the capacitance is increased. Now, we'll add a bulb in parallel to the capacitor. Build the circuit shown in the figure below (you'll need to close the switch to charge the capacitor and light the bulb). What happens to the luminosity (or brightness) of the bulb when the switch is then opened?
there is initially a current, but it decreases with time and eventually stops. The same as the emf of the battery increases / increases The luminosity is initially the same as before the switch is closed, but then gradually fades to zero.
You are holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 m to your north and 1 m to your east. What is the direction of the force on the charge you are holding? Four +2 μC charges are placed at the positions (10 cm, 0 cm), (−10 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 10 cm), and (0 cm, −10 cm) such that they form a diamond shape centered on the origin. A charge of +5 μC is placed at the origin. If the force between a +2 μC and a +5 μC charge separated by 10 cm has a magnitude of 9 N, which of the following can we say about the force on the +5 μC charge at the origin in this case? A charge of +0.001 C is 1 m to your right and another charge of +1000 C is 1 m to your left. You are holding a charge of −1 CC. Which of the following statements is/are true? If three uncharged styrofoam balls are placed together and agitated so that one gains +3 C of charge and another gains +4 C of charge, how much charge must there be on the third one?
to the southwest The force on the charge at the origin is 0. The magnitude of the force on the charge you are holding would be the same if it were +1 C instead of −1 C. & The force on the charge you are holding from the charge on your left is 1,000,000 times as large as the force from the charge on your right. -7 C

What is the flow of current proportional to? A pipe is filled with water, and there is a piston at each end. If you apply unequal pressures at the two pistons, which way will the water flow in the pipe? What happens to a lamp when you take both ends of the wire connected to it and hold them to the same side of the 12-volt terminal of battery, and why? What happens when you have a voltage difference between the two ends of the lamp, and why?
voltage difference between the two ends of the wire Water will flow from the piston with the higher pressure to the piston with the lower pressure. The lamp does not light up because there is no voltage difference applied across it. The lamp lights up because there is a voltage difference applied to it.
