\(\frac{900}{450} = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{225}}\), \(2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{225}}\).

Square both sides: \(4 = \frac{T_2}{225}\), \(T_2 = 900 \, \text{K}\).

Initial \( K = \frac{1}{2} \times 1200 \times 15^2 = 135000 \, \text{J} \).

Spring energy \( \frac{1}{2} k x_m^2 = 135000 \Rightarrow 4000 x_m^2 = 135000 \Rightarrow x_m = \sqrt{33.75} \approx 5.81 \, \text{m} \).

Given: \( Q = 16744 \, \text{J} \), \( L_f = 3.35 \times 10^5 \, \text{J kg}^{-1} \).

\( Q = m L_f \Rightarrow m = \frac{Q}{L_f} = \frac{16744}{3.35 \times 10^5} \approx 0.05 \, \text{kg} = 50 \, \text{g} \).

\( \mu = \frac{0.064}{3.2} = 0.02 \, \text{kg/m} \).

\( v_1 = \frac{v}{2L} \Rightarrow 25 = \frac{v}{2 \times 3.2} \Rightarrow v = 25 \times 6.4 = 160 \, \text{m/s} \).

\( v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \Rightarrow 160 = \sqrt{\frac{T}{0.02}} \Rightarrow 160^2 = \frac{T}{0.02} \).

\( T = 25600 \times 0.02 = 512 \, \text{N} \).

Total \( C = 4 + 8 = 12 \, \mu\text{F} \), \( V = \frac{1.2 \times 10^{-3}}{12 \times 10^{-6}} = 100 \, \text{V} \).

Final energy: \( U_f = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 10^{-6} \times (100)^2 = 0.06 \, \text{J} \).

Loss: \( U_i - U_f = 0.18 - 0.06 = 0.12 \, \text{J} \).

In an RC series circuit, the voltages across the resistor and capacitor are 90° out of phase. The algebraic sum of their magnitudes can exceed the source voltage, but the source voltage is the vector sum (\( V = \sqrt{V_R^2 + V_C^2} \)), accounting for the phase difference.

\( \text{kg} = [M] \), \( \text{m}^2 = [L^2] \), \( \text{s}^{-2} = [T^{-2}] \).

Outside shell: \( E = \frac{k q}{r^2} \).

\( E = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{6 \times 10^{-6}}{(0.12)^2} = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{6 \times 10^{-6}}{0.0144} = 3.75 \times 10^6 \, \text{N/C} \).

Fraction transferred \( f_2 = \frac{4 m_1 m_2}{(m_1 + m_2)^2} = \frac{4 \times 1 \times 12}{(1 + 12)^2} = \frac{48}{169} \approx 0.284 \).

For free fall, use \( y = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \).

Here, \( y = 122.5 \, \text{m} \), \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Substitute: \( 122.5 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2 \Rightarrow 122.5 = 5 t^2 \Rightarrow t^2 = 24.5 \Rightarrow t = \sqrt{24.5} \approx 4.95 \, \text{s} \).

Rounded to one decimal, the time is \( 5 \, \text{s} \).

When unbalanced (\( R_1 / R_2 \neq R_3 / R_4 \)), the potentials at the galvanometer’s nodes differ. The current flows from the higher-potential node to the lower one, determined by the relative voltage drops across the bridge arms.

In reverse bias, the small current (\( \mu \text{A} \)) is due to minority carriers (electrons in p-side, holes in n-side) drifting across the junction under the electric field.

At drop: \( v_{\text{lift}} = 3 - 2 \cdot 1 = 1 \, \text{m/s} \) downward.

Ball: \( y_{\text{ball}} = 1 \cdot 2 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (2)^2 = 2 + 20 = 22 \, \text{m} \).

Lift stops in \( \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \, \text{s} \), distance = \( 3 \cdot 1.5 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot (1.5)^2 = 4.5 - 2.25 = 2.25 \, \text{m} \), then stationary.

After 2 s, lift at \( 2.25 \, \text{m} \), ball at \( 22 \, \text{m} \), distance = \( 22 - 2.25 = 19.75 \, \text{m} \).

Velocity components: \( v_x = -4 \, \text{m/s}, v_y = 3 \, \text{m/s} \).

Magnitude \( v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, \text{m/s} \).

Stress: \( \text{Stress} = Y \times \text{Strain} = 2 \times 10^{11} \times 3 \times 10^{-4} = 6 \times 10^7 \, \text{N/m}^2 \).

Force: \( F = \text{Stress} \times A = 6 \times 10^7 \times 2 \times 10^{-6} = 120 \, \text{N} \).

\( E = -\frac{G M_E m}{2 r} \).

\( r = 3 R_E = 3 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 = 1.92 \times 10^7 \, \text{m} \).

\( E = -\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 6 \times 10^{24} \times 100}{2 \times 1.92 \times 10^7} \).

\( E = -\frac{4.002 \times 10^{16}}{3.84 \times 10^7} \approx -1.04 \times 10^9 \, \text{J} \).

For a thin prism: \( D_m = (n - 1) A \).

\( n = 1.6 \), \( A = 30^\circ \).

\( D_m = (1.6 - 1) \times 30 = 0.6 \times 30 = 18^\circ \).

Centripetal force \( F = m \omega^2 r \), max \( F = 100 \, \text{N} \).

Substitute: \( 100 = 0.2 \times \omega^2 \times 1.5 \).

\( 100 = 0.3 \omega^2 \).

\( \omega^2 = \frac{100}{0.3} = \frac{1000}{3} \approx 333.33 \).

\( \omega = \sqrt{333.33} \approx 18.26 \, \text{rad/s} \).

\( I = \frac{2}{5} M R^2 = \frac{2}{5} \times 5 \times (0.2)^2 = 0.08 \, \text{kg m}^2 \).

\( L = I \omega = 0.08 \times 10 = 0.8 \, \text{kg m}^2/\text{s} \).

Angular width \( 2\theta = \frac{2\lambda}{a} \). If \( \lambda \) is quadrupled, \( 2\theta \) increases four times.

\( 1 \, \text{W} = 1 \, \text{kg m}^2 \text{s}^{-3} \).

New units: \( \text{kg} = 0.25 \alpha \), \( \text{m} = 2 \beta \), \( \text{s} = 0.5 \gamma \).

\( 1 \, \text{W} = (0.25 \alpha) (2 \beta)^2 (0.5 \gamma)^{-3} = 0.25 \times 4 \times 8 = 8 \alpha \beta^2 \gamma^{-3} \).

Density = \( \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \), Volume = \( \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \).

\( R^3 = (1.5 \times 10^{-15})^3 = 3.375 \times 10^{-45} \, \text{m}^3 \).

Volume = \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 3.375 \times 10^{-45} \approx 1.41 \times 10^{-44} \, \text{m}^3 \).

Density = \( \frac{1.66 \times 10^{-27}}{1.41 \times 10^{-44}} \approx 1.18 \times 10^{17} \, \text{kg/m}^3 \).

The document states that radio waves have wavelengths greater than \( 0.1 \, \text{m} \), with long radio waves up to \( 10^6 \, \text{m} \).

Given: \( m = 0.7 \, \text{A m}^2 \), \( B = 0.6 \, \text{T} \), \( \theta = 30^\circ \), \( \sin 30^\circ = 0.5 \).

\( \tau = 0.7 \times 0.6 \times 0.5 = 0.21 \, \text{N m} \).

\( \omega = 2\pi v = 2\pi \times 45 = 90\pi \, \text{rad/s} \).

\( \varepsilon_0 = N B A \omega = 180 \times 0.08 \times 0.02 \times 90\pi = 81.43 \, \text{V} \approx 81.4 \, \text{V} \).

In a prism, minimum deviation occurs when the angle of incidence equals the angle of emergence. This symmetry ensures the refracted ray inside the prism is parallel to the base, minimizing the deviation angle.

Paramagnetic materials lose magnetization when cooled to very low temperatures because thermal energy, which allows weak alignment of atomic moments with an external field, diminishes, leaving the moments randomly oriented in the absence of a field.

\( r = \frac{mv}{qB} \).

\( r = \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times 3 \times 10^7}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.1} = \frac{5.01 \times 10^{-20}}{1.6 \times 10^{-20}} = 3.13125 \, \text{m} \approx 3.13 \, \text{m} \).

Apply Kirchhoff’s rules. Let currents be \( I_1 \) (AB), \( I_2 \) (AD), \( I_g \) (BD).

Junction B: \( I_1 = I_g + I_4 \), Junction D: \( I_2 = I_g + I_3 \).

Loop BADB: \( 30 I_1 + 10 I_g - 60 I_2 = 0 \Rightarrow 3 I_1 + I_g - 6 I_2 = 0 \).

Loop BCDB: \( 60 (I_1 - I_g) - 10 I_g - 15 (I_2 + I_g) = 0 \Rightarrow 4 I_1 - 2 I_2 - 2 I_g = 0 \).

Loop ADCEA: \( 60 I_2 + 15 (I_2 + I_g) = 10 \Rightarrow 75 I_2 + 15 I_g = 10 \Rightarrow 5 I_2 + I_g = \frac{2}{3} \).

Solve: From (3) \( I_g = \frac{2}{3} - 5 I_2 \), substitute in (1): \( 3 I_1 + \frac{2}{3} - 5 I_2 - 6 I_2 = 0 \Rightarrow 3 I_1 - 11 I_2 = -\frac{2}{3} \).

From (2): \( 4 I_1 - 2 I_2 - 2 (\frac{2}{3} - 5 I_2) = 0 \Rightarrow 4 I_1 - 2 I_2 - \frac{4}{3} + 10 I_2 = 0 \Rightarrow 4 I_1 + 8 I_2 = \frac{4}{3} \).

Solve: \( 12 I_1 - 33 I_2 = -2 \), \( 12 I_1 + 24 I_2 = 4 \). Subtract: \( -57 I_2 = -6 \Rightarrow I_2 = \frac{6}{57} = \frac{2}{19} \, \text{A} \).

\( I_g = \frac{2}{3} - 5 \times \frac{2}{19} = \frac{38}{57} - \frac{30}{57} = \frac{8}{57} \approx 0.14 \, \text{A} \).

For \( 7.2 \, \text{kg} \): \( 7.2g - T = 7.2a \Rightarrow 72 - T = 7.2a \).

For \( 9.2 \, \text{kg} \): \( T - f_k - 20 = 9.2a \).

Normal: \( N = mg = 9.2 \times 10 = 92 \, \text{N} \).

Friction: \( f_k = 0.2 \times 92 = 18.4 \, \text{N} \).

Net force: \( T - 18.4 - 20 = 9.2a \Rightarrow T - 38.4 = 9.2a \).

Solve: \( 72 - T = 7.2a \), \( T - 38.4 = 9.2a \).

Substitute: \( 72 - (9.2a + 38.4) = 7.2a \Rightarrow 72 - 38.4 - 9.2a = 7.2a \Rightarrow 33.6 = 16.4a \).

\( a \approx 2.05 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), \( T - 38.4 = 9.2 \times 2.05 \Rightarrow T - 38.4 \approx 18.86 \Rightarrow T \approx 57.26 \, \text{N} \).

With a constant voltage \( V \) across the plates, the electric field \( E \) varies between regions. In the air region, \( E_{\text{air}} = \frac{V}{d} \), where \( d \) is the plate separation. In the dielectric region (\( K > 1 \)), polarization reduces the field: \( E_{\text{dielectric}} = \frac{E_{\text{air}}}{K} = \frac{V}{K d} \). Since \( K > 1 \), \( E_{\text{dielectric}} < E_{\text{air}} \). The field differs because the dielectric polarizes, creating an opposing field that reduces the net field within it, while the air region experiences the full field.

\( S = \frac{3.0 \times 10^{-2}}{2 \times 0.5} = 0.03 \, \text{N/m} \).

Parallel resistance: \( \frac{1}{R_p} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3 + 1}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow R_p = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \, \Omega \).
