The local church is hosting a carnival which includes a bumper car ride. Bumper car A and its driver have a mass of 300 kg; bumper car B and its driver have a mass of 200 kg. Bumper car A has a velocity to the right of 2 m/s and bumper car B is at rest. At t = 0 s, bumper car A and B are separated by 10 m. Bumper car A accelerates at 1 m/s2 to a velocity of 4 m/s and continues at this constant speed until colliding with bumper car B. Calculate the time required for bumper car A to travel the 10 m to collide with bumper car B.
Calculate the speed of bumper car A following the collision with bumper car B, which now has a velocity to the right of 3 m/s.
Is the direction of motion for bumper car A following the collision with bumper car B to the right, to the left, or is bumper car A at rest?
Is the collision elastic? Justify your answer.

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

You hang a book bag on a spring scale and place the bag on a platform scale so that the platform scale reads 23.7n and the spring scale reads 13.8n. what is the magnitude of the force that earth exerts on the bag?
