Mary is whirling around on a merry-go-round at the playground that her friend Caitlin is gradually spinning faster and faster. Determine the maximum speed Mary can go if the coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the floor is 0.550. Mary is not hanging on, but is simply balancing on her feet at a distance of 2.00 m from the center of the merry-go-round. For g the value is 10 m/s^2 .

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?

Find v1, the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe. express your answer in terms of h1, h2, g, and either a1 and a2 or γ, which is equal to a1a2.
