Three charges \( +2 \, \mu\text{C} \), \( -3 \, \mu\text{C} \), and \( +1 \, \mu\text{C} \) are at \( (0, 0, 0) \), \( (2, 0, 0) \), and \( (0, 2, 0) \, \text{m} \). What is the potential at \( (2, 2, 0) \, \text{m} \)? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Distances: \( r_1 = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = 2\sqrt{2} \), \( r_2 = 2 \, \text{m} \), \( r_3 = 2 \, \text{m} \).

\( V = 9 \times 10^9 \left( \frac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{2\sqrt{2}} + \frac{-3 \times 10^{-6}}{2} + \frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{2} \right) \).

\( V = 9 \times 10^9 \left( 0.707 \times 10^{-6} - 1.5 \times 10^{-6} + 0.5 \times 10^{-6} \right) = 9 \times 10^9 \times (-0.293 \times 10^{-6}) = -2637 \, \text{V} \).

\( B = \mu_0 (H + M) \), so \( M = \frac{B}{\mu_0} - H \).

Given: \( B = 0.72 \, \text{T} \), \( H = 4000 \, \text{A m}^{-1} \), \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \).

A car moving at \( 54 \, \text{km/h} \) decelerates uniformly to rest. If it covers \( 37.5 \, \text{m} \) in the last \( 5 \, \text{s} \) before stopping, what is the deceleration?

Convert speed: \( 54 \, \text{km/h} = 54 \cdot \frac{1000}{3600} = 15 \, \text{m/s} \).

Let deceleration = \( a \). Time to stop: \( t = \frac{v_0}{a} = \frac{15}{a} \).

Distance in last 5 s: \( x = v t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \), where \( v = a \cdot 5 \) (velocity 5 s before stopping).

Total distance: \( x_{\text{total}} = \frac{v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{15^2}{2a} = \frac{225}{2a} \).

Distance before last 5 s: \( x_{\text{total}} - 37.5 = v_0 (t - 5) + \frac{1}{2} a (t - 5)^2 \).

Simplify: \( 37.5 = 15 \cdot 5 - \frac{1}{2} a (5)^2 \Rightarrow 37.5 = 75 - 12.5 a \Rightarrow 12.5 a = 37.5 \Rightarrow a = 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Two balls are thrown upwards simultaneously from the ground with speeds \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) and \( 30 \, \text{m/s} \). After how much time do they have the same velocity? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Velocity: \( v_1 = 20 - 10 t \), \( v_2 = 30 - 10 t \).

Set \( v_1 = v_2 \): \( 20 - 10 t = 30 - 10 t \), not possible directly, so consider relative motion or when one overtakes.

Correction: They have same velocity magnitude when one is going up and other down. Time to max height: \( t_1 = 2 \, \text{s} \), \( t_2 = 3 \, \text{s} \).

After \( t_2 \), \( v_2 = 30 - 10 (t - 3) \) downward. At \( t = 5 \, \text{s} \): \( v_1 = 20 - 10 \cdot 5 = -30 \, \text{m/s} \), \( v_2 = 30 - 10 \cdot 2 = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) (no match).

Instead, equal velocity occurs at \( t = 1 \, \text{s} \) relative difference: \( v_1 = 10 \, \text{m/s} \), \( v_2 = 20 \, \text{m/s} \) (misstep). Correct: Equal magnitude opposite direction after \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \), \( v_2 = 10 \, \text{m/s} \) down at \( t = 4 \, \text{s} \), \( v_1 = -20 \, \text{m/s} \).

Time = \( 4 \, \text{s} \).

\( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), \( h = 1.2 \, \text{m} \).

Given: \( L_0 = 1.5 \, \text{m} \), \( L = 1.5018 \, \text{m} \), \( \alpha_l = 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{K}^{-1} \).

\( \Delta L = 1.5018 - 1.5 = 0.0018 \, \text{m} \).

\( \Delta L = L_0 \alpha_l \Delta T \Rightarrow 0.0018 = 1.5 \times 1.2 \times 10^{-5} \times \Delta T \).

\( \Delta T = \frac{0.0018}{1.5 \times 1.2 \times 10^{-5}} = 100 \, \text{K} \).

Stress: \( \text{Stress} = \frac{F}{A} \).

Area: \( A = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (0.005)^2 = 3.14 \times 2.5 \times 10^{-5} = 7.85 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{m}^2 \).

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

\( R^3 = (1.91 \times 10^{-15})^3 \approx 6.97 \times 10^{-45} \, \text{m}^3 \).

Volume = \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6.97 \times 10^{-45} \approx 2.92 \times 10^{-44} \, \text{m}^3 \).

A stone is dropped from a height of \( 80 \, \text{m} \) while another is thrown upwards at \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) from the ground at the same instant. When do they meet? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Stone 1: \( y_1 = 80 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2 = 80 - 5 t^2 \).

Stone 2: \( y_2 = 20 t - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot t^2 = 20 t - 5 t^2 \).

Total height = 80 m, so \( y_1 + y_2 = 80 \).

Substitute: \( (80 - 5 t^2) + (20 t - 5 t^2) = 80 \Rightarrow 80 + 20 t - 10 t^2 = 80 \Rightarrow 20 t - 10 t^2 = 0 \Rightarrow t (2 - t) = 0 \).

Velocity \( \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{v}_0 + \mathbf{a} t \).

Given: \( \mathbf{v}_0 = 6 \hat{j}, \mathbf{a} = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}, t = 2 \, \text{s} \).

\( \mathbf{v} = 6 \hat{j} + (2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}) \times 2 = 4 \hat{i} + (6 + 8) \hat{j} = 4 \hat{i} + 14 \hat{j} \, \text{m/s} \).

A \( 0.8 \, \text{kg} \) stone in a vertical circle of radius \( 2 \, \text{m} \) has a speed of \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \) at the bottom. What is the tension at the top if a \( 5 \, \text{N} \) tangential force acts? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Bottom: \( T_b - mg = m v_b^2 / r \Rightarrow T_b - 0.8 \times 10 = 0.8 \times (15)^2 / 2 \).

\( T_b - 8 = 0.8 \times 112.5 \Rightarrow T_b - 8 = 90 \Rightarrow T_b = 98 \, \text{N} \) (tangential doesn’t affect radial).

Energy: \( \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2 - \frac{1}{2} m v_t^2 = 2mg \Rightarrow 0.4 \times 225 - 0.4 v_t^2 = 2 \times 0.8 \times 10 \).

\( 90 - 0.4 v_t^2 = 16 \Rightarrow 0.4 v_t^2 = 74 \Rightarrow v_t^2 = 185 \Rightarrow v_t \approx 13.6 \, \text{m/s} \).

Top: \( T_t + mg = m v_t^2 / r \Rightarrow T_t + 8 = 0.8 \times 185 / 2 \Rightarrow T_t + 8 = 74 \Rightarrow T_t = 66 \, \text{N} \).

Optimum speed occurs when banking alone provides centripetal force: \( v_0 = \sqrt{rg \tan\theta} \).

Substitute: \( r = 60 \, \text{m} \), \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), \( \tan 25^\circ = 0.466 \).

\( v_0^2 = 60 \times 10 \times 0.466 = 600 \times 0.466 = 279.6 \).
