Two masses, MA and MB, with MB = 2MA, are released at the same time and allowed to fall straight down. Neglect air resistance. When we compare their kinetic energies after they have fallen equal distances, we find that
a. KB = KA.
b. KB = 2KA.
c. KB = 4KA.
d. KA = 2KB.
e. KA = 4KB.

The type of heat transfer that occurs between the radiator of a car and the atmosphere, when the car is in motion, is principally
A) convective. B) conductive. C) radiative. D) countercurrent. E) evaporation.
Bumpers on cars are not of much use in a collision. To see why, calculate the average force a bumper would have to exert if it brought a 1200-kg car (a so-called compact model) to a rest in 15 cm
when the car had an initial speed of 2.0 m/s (about 4.5 mph). (Bumpers are built with springs that compress to provide a stopping force without, hopefully, denting the metal.) A) 3.2 × 104 N B) 1.6 × 104 N C) 5.4 × 104 N D) 1.8 × 104 N E) 6.5 × 105 N
An ideal transformer with 120 turns in its secondary supplies 12 V at 220 mA to a toy train. The primary is connected across a 120-V wall outlet
(a) How many turns are in the primary? (b) What is the primary current? (c) What power is delivered by the wall outlet?
A 40-?C charge is positioned on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm. Where should a ?60-?C charge be placed to produce a net electric field of zero at the origin?
