Homework #2

Due by 5 pm Wednesday September 13^th.

Problems from book

1. 2-6) An application of simple projectile theory.
2. 2-11) This should be an extension of one of the in-class examples.
3. 2-16) Note that when it talks about projecting a particle up a ramp it means sliding it up the ramp. The particle does not become airborn so the problem is a strictly 1-D problem.
4. 2-21) Just work straight form the definitions of torque and angular momentum.
5. 2-22) The meat of this week's assigment. Note the slightly bizarre nature of the result illustrated in part d. There is an electric field only in the y and z directions but the particle travels with, on average, a constant speed in the x direction!
6. 2-25) Time to play with energy a little.
7. 2-30) Straight application problem with a little twist.
8. 2-33) A chance to try a numerical solution. We shall be talking about how to do this stuff on Friday.
9. 2-40) This sort of ties this week together with last week.
