. (a) When a soft object rests on a softsurface, the net force on the object due to the surface is directly upward. (b) As the object rolls tothe left, the net force becomes unbalanced and tilts to the right. (c) The net force can be split intonormal and rolling resistance components. Although rolling resistance is not strictly a friction force, it behaves like friction from ananalysis standpoint: ● The force of rolling resistance (frr) is drawn on the FBD opposing the direction of motion of the vehicle at the surface (similar to how fk is drawn for a crate sliding on a surface). ● It is calculated by multiplying the normal force (N) by the coefficient of rolling resistance (μrr): frr = μrrN ● The coefficient of rolling

posed to the students werecollectively worth about 9% of their exam score and were presented to them as follows:Question 1. The force on a dropped apple when hitting the ground depends upon A) whether or not the apple bounces. B) the speed of the apple just before it hits. C) the time of contact with the ground. D) … all of the above. E) … none of the above.Question 2. As was demonstrated in class, if you throw a raw egg onto the floor, it will break. However, if you throw it with the same speed into a soft, sagging sheet, it won’t break. Carefully explain the significance of the sagging sheet in terms of keeping

In general, it can happen that small differences in theinitial conditions produce very great ones in the final phenomena. A small error in the formerwill produce an enormous error in the latter, so that the prediction of a real system’s behaviorbecomes impossible.Due to the fact that the phase portraits ϕɺ over ϕ represent the projection of the extendedphase space (with coordinates ϕ , ϕɺ , and t ), intersecting trajectories appear in subfigures (c) to(e).(a) µ ωn2 = 0 , ∆ϕ0 = 10o(b) µ ωn2 = 0.5 , ∆ϕ0 = 10o(c) µ ωn2 = 1

material response under electric field and permeability is the material responseunder magnetic field. Under the influence of external electric field, there occurs a polarization ofelectric charges in atomic level which give rise to permittivity. Under the influence of externalmagnetic field, there occurs a polarization of magnetic dipoles moments (in magnetic material)in atomic level which give rise to permeability. When tiny particles of particular shape, made ofmetal or dielectric material, are arranged in a regular fashion, is called artificial material. Infigure 1, an artificial material, composed of metallic wires or circular metal patches or metalspheres, is shown.Figure 1. Artificial material composed of (a) 1-D metal wires, (b) 2-D

Most of the students fall in the areaunder the line, that is, in which the qualitative (conceptual) score is greater than the quantitativescore. However, it is clear that graphs c) and d) have more spread. This could be due to thenature of those instruments. Both of them are diagnostic with no penalization to students.

Thecreators of this speaker initially also had the idea that the current supplied by the audio signalfrom the phone would create a large enough force that the cardboard diaphragm would vibrate.They learned that the current supplied by the phone would not create a strong enough magneticfield to vibrate the cardboard diaphragm.

The thirteen students enrolled in this course arefrom different degree programs: 1 CpE, 3 EE, 6 ME, 1 Physics, and 2 in the pre-engineeringprogram. There were three questions related to this new approach: (a) How often do you need touse the solution manual in completing homework assignments? (b) Is the exercise session helpfulin doing the homework assignments? (c) If there were no exercise sessions, would you becomemore dependent on the solution manual? For each question there were five options: (1) 0-20%,(2) 20-40%, (3) 40-60%, (4) 60-80%, (5) 80-100%. The results of percentage of students

(a) the 2.5 and 5 MHz signals can only be heard at night indicating thatwhen the sun is out, the D-layer is present and absorbs signals on the lower part of the HF bandsand thus prevents them from reaching the E or F-layer for long distance transmission. Note thatthe sunset/sunrise in Colorado lags Connecticut by two hours as well as other considerations meansthat receiving these will not necessarily coincide with the exact local sunrise/sunset times. (b) The5 MHz signal is less subject to the D-layer than the 2.5 MHz signal and is thus heard for a longertime during the daylight hours. Therefore, we observe D

electricity in their daily life; therefore, it is crucial todevelop methods to produce energy from day-to-day doings. Considering our average daily use, the devicewas designed to harness energy from water flow using fundamental physics concepts. Hydroelectric poweris considered as one of the cleanest alternative energies but is still not widely and efficiently used by mostof today’s energy enterprises. This paper presents a water flow generator that produces electrical energyfrom the day-to-day water use at home. The flow generator design is a micro view of the hydroelectricpower plant combined with the idea of using rechargeable and energy storing devices. This will helpto generate electrical energy to support some of the devices used daily by
