1.If a particle travels along a circle or circular arc with radius r at
constant speed v, it is i uniform circular motion. prove that the particle has
an accerleration a of magnitude a=v^2/r
2.Three vectors are given by → ^ ^ ^ → ^ ^ ^
a=3.0i+3.0j-2.0k, b=-1.0i-4.0j+2.0k
→ ^ ^ ^ → →→ → → → → → →
c=2.0i+2.0j+1.0k. Please find (a) a‧(bxc)(5%)(b) a‧(b + c)(5%)(c) ax(b + c)
3.The kinetic energy K at a high speed is given by K=mc^2x[(1/√1-(v/c)^2)-1]
where c is the speed of light in vacuum, v is the velocity of the particle and
m is the mass of the particle. Please prove that in the classical limit (v<<c)
, K~1/2mv^2 (10%).

4.A particle of mass 1.18 kg is attached between two identical springs on a
horizontal, frictionless table top. Both springs have sprinig constant k and
are initially unstressed. (a) The particle is pulled a distance x along a
direction perpendicular to the initial configuratioin of the spring as shown
in Fig.1. Please prove that the force exerted by the springs on the particle
is given by → ▁▁▁▁ ^ ^
F=-2kx(1-L/√x^2+L^2 )i, where i is the unit vector in the x-axis
(10%). (b)Please prove that the potential energy of the system is given by
U(x)=kx^2+2kL(L-√x^2+L^2) (10%)

8.Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on
a Formula One car is 0.60 during a Grand Prix auto race. What speed will put
the car on the verge of sliding as it rounds a level curve of 30.5 m radius?
9.A spaceship of rest length 100m races past a timing station at a speed of
0.60c. (a)What is the length meausured by the timing station?(5%).(b)What time
interval will the station clock record between the passage of the front and
back ends of the spaceship?(5%)[Hint:Length contraction]
