Help UFRJ (Brazillian college) physics exam

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics exam from UFRJ, focusing on specific questions related to damped harmonic oscillations and dynamics of spin. The first question involves a frontal collision between two particles, requiring calculations of final momentum and velocities before and after the collision, as well as the effective force on a mass moving through a gas. The second question addresses a spinning table with a bullet impacting it, asking for the determination of angular velocity in two scenarios and the kinetic energy ratio. The original poster seeks assistance in solving these complex physics problems based on the teacher's reference to the book by Moyses. Help is requested to clarify these concepts and calculations.

Hello friends .. I did a physics exam last week and had many doubts on questions 1 - d) e) and 2 - b) c) ... I tried to solve the test at home but I could not .. if someone can give a help I would greatly appreciate it! items d) and e) the question is a damped harmonic oscillations on the fluid (air) and the second question is about dynamics of spin ... the teacher is based on the book Moyses, thank you already!

1) Consider a frontal collision between two particles, A and B respectively mass M and m moving in straight line along the same trajectory (axis x), without friction. The particle A is at rest x = 0 and particle B approaches A with speed -V <0 coming from x> 0 . Where M>> m , after an elastic collision (energy saving) it is observed that the particle B moves away from A with the speed v> 0 . The final speed of A can be considered null with respect to v .

(b) Determine the final momentum of A , [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?p_{A}^{f}%20=%20\Delta%20p_{A}[/URL]

(c) Describe the impact (ie, determine the velocities of A and B before and after the collision) when B is initially at rest x0 and A approaches coming from x <x0 with the speed v . [Note that this is just a change of reference with respect to (b)]. Determine [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\Delta%20p_{A}[/URL] this case.

(d) In a hypothetical situation, A moves with velocity v in a uniform density of gas molecules of mass m , all initially at rest, occurring on average one collision every time interval [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\delta%20t.[/URL] Each collision produces the same variation of momentum of A calculated in (c). Determine the effective force on the weight M . Consider a time interval to measure the effective force [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\Delta%20t\gg%20\delta%20t[/URL]

(e) The particle A in the gas described in (d) is attached to the end of a spring with constant k and which oscillates along the axis x . Write the equation of motion. What behavior do you expect to find the amplitude of the movement for [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?2\pi%20\sqrt{(M/k)}[/URL]


2) A bar table has a top spinning metal ring radius R and mass M . A bullet of mass [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?m%20\ll%20M[/URL] hits the table with speed [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\vec{v}%20=%20v%20\widehat{\theta}[/URL] (tangential) on board in [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\vec{r}%20=%20R%20\widehat{r}.[/URL] We use polar coordinates with respect to the center of the table that can rotate without friction. The moment of inertia of the table in the center is [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?I%20=%20MR^{2}/2.[/URL] Determine the angular velocity of the final table in the following cases:

(a) The ball gets stuck on the edge of the table.

(b) The bullet grazed almost using the same trajectory with velocity [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?{\vec{v}}'%20=%20\vec{v}/2.[/URL]

(c) Determine, in both cases (a) and (b), the ratio between final and initial kinetic energy. Remember that [URL]http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\frac{m}{M}%20\ll%201.[/URL]

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
