Size of the Nucleus: The radius R of a nucleus of mass number A is given by R = R0 A1/3, where R0 = 1.2 × 10-15 m, calculate the density of a nucleus that has contains 57 protons and 82 neutrons. The mass of a nucleon (proton or neutron) is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. The spring exerts the greater force on the
A) heavier car. B) lighter car. C) same on each.
A deep space probe moving forward in space needs to make a course correction and so fires a thruster on the side of the probe 90° away from its direction of motion, as shown below. This thruster, while on, exerts a constant force on the probe perpendicular to its original direction of motion. While the thruster is operating, which trajectory best describes the probe’s motion? (Hint: Note that the thrust force delivers an upward impulse to the probe during every successive time interval. Consider what happens to the ball in figure C2.4 as it receives analogous continual downward impulses.)
