Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 27P
You are still fascinated by the process of inkjet printing, as described in the opening storyline for this chapter. You convince your father to take you to his manufacturing facility to see the machines that print expiration dates on eggs. You strike up a conversation with the technician operating the machine. He tells you that the ink drops are created using a piezoelectric crystal, acoustic waves, and the Plateau–Rayleigh instability, which creates uniform drops of mass m = 1.25 × 10−8 g. While you don’t understand the fancy words, you do recognize mass! The technician also tells you that the drops are charged to a controllable value of q and then projected vertically downward between parallel deflecting plates at a constant terminal speed of 18.5 m/s. The plates are ℓ = 2.25 cm long and have a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 6.35 × 104 N/C between them. Noting your interest in the process, the technician asks you, “If the position on the egg at which the drop is to be deposited requires that its deflection at the bottom end of the plates be 0.17 mm, what is the required charge on the drop?” You quickly get to work to find the answer.

How would you solve this:
In the search for the Higgs Boson, it was posited that the potnetial energy storedbetween two higgs particles is given by a 1 dimensional function of the distancebetween the two particles (x) as U(x) = c + ax2 − bx4 where a, b, c are constants.a) Find a function for the force as a function of position.b) what value of position (x) is the equilibrium position in terms of a and b.
Problem A.1: Interstellar Mission
You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8.7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70% the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with an hydrogen atom/m3.
(a)Calculate the time it takes your spaceship to reach sirius.
(b)determine the mass of interstellar gas that collides with your spaceship during the mission.
Note: Use 1.673 x 10-27 kg as proton mass.
Problem A.2: Time Dilation
Because you are moving with an enormous speed, your mission from the previous problem Al will be influenced by the effects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceship launches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly after arriving at Sirius.
(a) How many years will have passed from your perspective?
(b) At which Earth date (year and month) will you arrive back to Earth?
You are a coach for the Physics Olympics team participating in a competition overseas. You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line as shown. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D? Think quickly and use all resources available to you, which include your physics textbook: you are in competition!

- A Geiger counter is a device used to detect radiation, and consists of a thin metal wire (anode) at the center of a metallic tube (cathode). As radiation enters the tube, electrons are knocked off from the gas inside the tube or from the metallic wall, and accelerate towards the wire at the center. Consider a Geiger counter with an evacuated tube (a vacuum existing between cathode and anode), where the inner anode has a radius 2 mm and the outer cathode has a radius of 44 mm. The anode has a linear charge density of +10 nC/m, while the cathode has a charge per unit length of -10 nC/m. Let the cathode potential be equal to zero (using it as voltage reference). What is the potential at a distance of 73 mm from the center? Express your answer up to four significant figures.
