FY40 Eam Fall 05 Short answer (4 points each) ) Bernoulli's equation relating luid low and pressure is based on a) conservation o momentum b) conservation o energy c) conservation o mass along the low lines d) conservation o entropy ) What is the dierence between the "plot" and "igure" commands in MALAB? "igure" opens a window with aes that can be used or a plot "plot" taes two variables and produces a graph o the second as a unction o the irst 3) Why does the conductivity o semiconductors increase at high temperature? there are more ree carriers, either rom impurity ionization or rom ecitation across the energy gap. 4) Which charged particles contribute to the electric ield on the Gaussian surace shown? a) Only q and q b) Only q3 and q4 c) All our contribute d) Some other combination o particles contribute e) he number o charged particles that contribute depends on the shape o the Gaussian surace 5) Does the woring luid (gas) an air conditioner epand inside the house or outside? Eplain why. he epansion is done inside the house; this reduces the temperature o the woring luid and allows it to absorb heat rom the inside o the building.
Problems: j μ i A) MECHANICS wo blocs are staced on top o one another on a rictionless inclined plane, and are attached to each other with a massless string that runs through a rictionless pulley, as shown. Bloc is lighter than Bloc (m < m ). Consider the case where the blocs are moving and are still in contact, and the inetic coeicient o riction between the two blocs is μ, and the acceleration due to gravity is g. a) 4 In what direction (vector ormat) does Bloc move? the displacement is a multiple o the vector dˆ ( cos iˆ sin ˆj ) b) 4 Draw ree-body (orce) diagrams or the two blocs.

It will not change because the riction depends only on the normal orce, and the weight o Bloc is still supported entirely by Bloc.
