Q.1 P. 3947.

A spiral spring of negligible

mass and spring constant D lies un-
stretched on a smooth horizontal plane.
Its length is l0, and one of its end is fixed
to a vertical axle, while the other to a
point-like disc of mass m is attached.

Another disc of mass m collides elastically with the disc attached to the spring. The initial
velocity of the moving disc is v and is perpendicular to the axis of the spring. Find the
smallest radius of curvature of the path of the disc attached to the spring. Data:
D=64 N/m, l0=1 m, m=0.5 kg, v=8 m/s.

Q.2
A flat square plate with side length d serves as
a detector for the radiation emitted by a
particle. The particle emits the radiation
uniformly in all directions. Consider the line, L,
joining points A and C, as shown. C is one
corner of the square, and A is the point directly
above the opposite corner, a distance d above
the square.

What fraction of the total radiation emitted by the particle is detected by the
detector if the particle is placed on the line L:
(a) at point A,
(b) at point B (halfway between A and C),
(c) at a point infinitesimally close to point C.
Q. 3. BAUPC 2000
(a) Two conducting infinite half-planes meet at right angle.
A charge q is brought in from rest at infinity to a position
(at rest) a distance d from each plane. What is the work
done, W0, to bring about this charge?
(b) While the charge q is at a distance d from each plane,
planes are changed from conducting to insulating (that is,
the charges on them are no longer free to move). The
charge q is then brought back to infinity. What is the work
done, Wout, to bring about this change?
(c) What is the potential energy of the system of charges on
the insulating planes?

Q. 5
P. 3661. A square-shaped insulator plate of edge length d is
uniformly charged with charge Q. A point-like body of
electric charge q is placed on the axis of symmetry of the
plate at a d/2 distance from it. What force is exerted on the
point charge? (Hint: Compare the force exerted by a small
piece of the plate and the flux of charge q crossing this piece
of surface.)

Q.6

P. 3667. Two parallel rails running in a b distance from each

other are connected through a capacitor of capacity C. In
distance from the capacitor a metal wire of mass m is laid
perpendicularly across the rails. The resultant frame is then put
into a homogeneous magnetic field so that the plane of the
frame includes an angle with the horizontal plane. The
direction of the B magnetic induction vector is vertical. Friction
and ohmic resistance is negligible.
At what speed does the wire reach the end of the slope?

Q. 7. P. 3474. At the endpoints of a line segment of a length of d

there are two identical positive electric charges. What is the ratio
of the electric field strength and the electric potential in a point
characterized by an angle on the Thales' circle drawn around the
line segment. (4 points)

Q. 8. P. 3449.  There are three elastic disks with masses

m1=m3=0.15 kg, m2=0.2 kg connected with two equal
length strings of negligible mass, on a horizontal air-
cushioned table. At the beginning the three disks are in
rest and reside in one line (according to the figure).
Then we make the middle disk move horizontally and
perpendicular to the strings with a velocity of v0=6 m/s.

a) What is the velocity of the side disks right at the moment when the disk of mass m2
stops after the elastic collision of the two disks in question? What is the angle formed by
the two strings in this position?

b) What is the angle formed by the two strings in this position? (6 points)
Q.9.

P. 3523. The figure (see on page 251) shows the velocity

and the acceleration of a point-like body at the initial
moment of its motion. The direction and the absolute value
of the acceleration remain constant. <P.a) When does the
absolute value of the velocity become the same as at the
initial moment?

b) When does the velocity reach its minimum value?

c) What is the minimal curvature of the orbit of the body?

Q. 10.

P. 3582. On an air-cushioned table there are three equal disks of

uniform mass distribution. Two of the disks are touching each
other motionless. The third disk is approaching these, and its
velocity is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the
other two. Give the velocity ratios after the perfectly elastic and
frictionless collision as a function of angle shown in the figure.
