Tasks

(10 points)1. Series 37. Year - S. measuring the time

  1. On long-term average, how long does it take for the March equinox to move by one day when using the Gregorian calendar?
  2. How much does the period of oscillation of a pendulum with a period of $t=1 \mathrm{s}$ change when its temperature changes by $T=10 \mathrm{\C }$ if its rod and a much heavier weight are made out of copper? What processes affect the pendulum when the atmospheric pressure or air humidity changes?
  3. Estimate how long is the shortest „rod“ from quartz resonating at a frequency $f=5 \mathrm{MHz}$. Consider the density of quartz $\rho =2{,}65 \mathrm{g\cdot cm^{-3}}$ and the modulus of elasticity $E \approx 80 \mathrm{GPa}$ and the compressive oscillations with one static and the other free to move.
  4. Let's have an isotope $\ce {^{a} X}$, that changes with a half-life $T_{1/2}$ to the isotope $\ce {^{b}Y}$. At several places in a sample, we measure the relative isotopic abundance of the parent and child nuclides relative to a different isotope of the child element: $\left [\ce {^{a}X}\right ]/\left [\ce {^{c}Y}\right ]$, $\left [\ce {^{b}Y}\right ]/\left [\ce {^{c}Y}\right ]$. We assume that the relative abundance of the child element does not change in time. How do we determine the age $t$ of the sample? Assume that both isotopes of the element Y are stable and present in original sample and disregard other nuclear transformations.

(10 points)2. Series 37. Year - S. up to one's elbows

  1. Measure your elbow in inches. Use only your body parts for the measurement.
  2. In ancient times, the first attempt to determine the distance of the Earth from the Sun was to measure the angular distance of the Moon from the Sun when the Moon was in the first quarter – the interface of light and darkness was direct. Determine the magnitude of this angle and compare it with the angular size of the Earth as seen from the Moon.
  3. A laser distance meter using a $\ce{He}-\ce{Ne}$ laser shows the distance exactly $100 \mathrm{m}$ under standard conditions $(20 \mathrm{\C}, 100 \mathrm{kPa})$. How will this value differ when the following changes:
    1. temperature by $30 \mathrm{\C }$
    2. pressure by $10 \mathrm{kPa}$
    3. a green laser with a wavelength of $532 \mathrm{nm}$ will be used instead
    4. no conversion between group and phase velocity
  4. State at least $4$ different ways of measuring the velocity of vehicles. Explain which physical principles are used to determine the velocity and which type of velocity it is.

(10 points)3. Series 37. Year - S. weighted participants

  1. According to definitions by International System of Units, convert these into base units
    • pressure $1 \mathrm{psi}$,
    • energy $1 \mathrm{foot-pound}$,
    • force $1 \mathrm{dyn}$.
  2. In the diffraction experiment, table salt's grating constant (edge length of the elementary cell) was measured as $563 \mathrm{pm}$. We also know its density as $2{,}16 \mathrm{g\cdot cm^{-3}}$, and that it crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice. Determine the value of the atomic mass unit.
  3. A thin rod with a length $l$ and a linear density $\lambda $ lies on a cylinder with a radius $R$ perpendicular to its axis of symmetry. A weight with mass $m$ is placed at each end of the rod so that the rod is horizontal. We carefully increase the mass of one of the weights to $M$. What will be the angle between the rod and the horizontal direction? Assume that the rod does not slide off the cylinder.
  4. How would you measure the mass of:
    • an astronaut on ISS,
    • a loaded oil tanker,
    • a small asteroid heading towards Earth?

Dodo keeps confucing weight nad mass.

(10 points)4. Series 37. Year - S. heating and explosions

  1. Consider a thin-walled glass container of volume $V_1=100 \mathrm{ml}$, the neck of which is a thin and long vertical capillary with internal cross-section $S=0{,}20 \mathrm{cm^2}$, filled with water at temperature $t_1=25 \mathrm{\C }$ up to the bottom of the neck. Now submerge this container in a larger container filled with a volume $V_2=2{,}00 \mathrm{l}$ of olive oil at a temperature $t_2=80 \mathrm{\C }$. How much will the water in the capillary rise?
  2. In a closed container with a volume of $11{,}0 \mathrm{l}$ there is a weak solution containing sodium hydroxide with $p\mathrm {H}=12{,}5$ and a volume of $1{,}0 \mathrm{l}$. In the region above the surface, we burn $100 \mathrm{mg}$ of powdered carbon. Determine the value of the pressure in the container a few seconds after burning out, after half an hour, and after one day. Before the experiment, the vessel contained air of standard composition at standard conditions; similarly, we maintain a standard temperature around the vessel in the laboratory.
  3. Describe three different ways in which the temperature of stars can be determined. What are the basic physical principles they are based on, and what do we need to be careful of?

(10 points)5. Series 37. Year - S. we are spending electricity

  1. The aluminum smelter annually produces $160~000 t$ of aluminum, which is produced by electrolysis of alumina using a DC voltage of $U=4{,}3 \mathrm{V}$. Determine how many units of nuclear power plant with a net electrical output of $W_0=500 \mathrm{MW}$ are equivalent to the energy consumed by the aluminum smelter.
  2. A DC current of magnitude $I$ is applied to a tangent galvanometer with $n$ turnings of radius $R$. The compass needle is deflected by an angle $\alpha $ from the equilibrium position. Determine the relationship needed to calculate the flowing current.
  3. Measuring the temperature $T$ using a thermistor to determine its resistance $r(T)$ utilizes a Wheatstone bridge with three resistors of known values $R_1$, $R_2$, $R_3$. What voltage $U(T)$ do we measure on the voltmeter in the middle of the bridge?
  4. In the second half of the last century, conventional electrical units were based on the values of the frequency of the cesium hyperfine transition $\nu \_{Cs}=9~192~631~770 Hz$, the von Klitzing constant $R\_K=25~812.807 \ohm $ and the Josephson constant $K_J=483~597.9e9 Wb^{-1}$. Determine the value of the coulomb $1 \mathrm{C}$ using these constants. {enumerate}

Dodo has dead batteries.

(10 points)6. Series 37. Year - S. illuminating units

  1. There is an isotropic (its properties depend on the direction) light source perpendicularly above the center of a table. The center of the table is illuminated by $E_1=500 \mathrm{lx}$. The edge of the table is $R=0{,}85 \mathrm{m}$ from the center and is illuminated by $E_2=450 \mathrm{lx}$. How far from the center of the table is the light source? What is its luminous intensity?
  2. Measure the luminous intensity of your favorite lamp using one of the visual photometric methods mentioned in the series. Use a tea candle made of white paraffin wax as the unit of luminosity. Remember to describe your experimental setup and attach a photograph or a diagram. How accurate was your results
  3. Let's construct the „Earth“ system of units using the values of the mean density of the Earth, the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level, the standard gravity of Earth, and the magnetic induction measured at the Earth's south magnetic pole $B_0=67 \mathrm{\mu {}T}$. Calculate the values of second, meter, kilogram, and ampere in this system and find the values of the speed of light, Planck's constant, gravitational constant, and vacuum permeability in „Earth“ units.
