OUTCOME FL1

I can analyze the pressures and forces due to a fluid

FL1: The circular porthole on a boat is 5 cm in radius and 1.3 m below the surface of a
freshwater lake.

A. How much pressure does it feel?

B. How much force does it feel?

OUTCOME FL2

I can analyze systems in terms of buoyancy

FL2: A cube of plastic (10 cm to a side) is placed into a vat of water. If the cube has a
density of 720 kg/m3, nd

A. how much of the cube is below water (how many centimeters of each side)

B. the buoyant force acting on the cube

OUTCOME FL3

I can analyze systems in terms of continuity

FL3: Water ows at 10 m/s through a pipe. The pipe's radius then becomes 40% of its
original size. What is the velocity of the water in the narrower section of pipe?

OUTCOME FL4

I can analyze systems in terms of energy conservation

FL4: When a person inhales, air moves down the windpipe at 15 cm/s. Where the
windpipe tightens, the average air speed doubles. If the height difference is 1 cm, what
is the difference in pressure due to this constriction? The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.

OUTCOME EL1

I can describe the qualitative behavior of charges

EL1: Some electronic devices are easily damaged if they are covered in excess charge.
Imagine you have a box full of these devices. Left as is, they can get jostled and
accumulate excess charge.

Sketch a picture showing how you would store these devices so that they would be safe
from excess charges (include any charges or electric eld vectors you think are
important to describe how it works). Explain how your system protects them, using
reasoning from what you’ve learned in class.

OUTCOME EL2

I can describe and analyze the interactions between static charges

EL2: A +6 μC charge sits at the origin of a coordinate system. A -6 μC charge sits at the
coordinates (10 cm, 0).

(a) Sketch the scenario


(b) Draw the net force acting on a test charge located at (3 cm, 0 cm). (Draw the force
acting on the test charge due to each other charge, then sketch in the net force)
(c) Calculate the net force acting on a 0.5 μC sitting at (3 cm, 0)

v1
OUTCOME EL3

I can analyze the electrical interaction using a field

EL3: For the given scenario, draw the electric eld lines (not vector arrows, but lines).
You may use the Charges and Fields PhET simulation as a resource. Include at least 10
eld lines.

Identify a location where the force on a positive charge would be up (north).

OUTCOME EL4

I can describe and analyze the electric potential

EL4: Of the given problems, answer the one that makes physical sense. Indicate which
you are answering.

A. How much electric potential energy would you measure at a distance of 5 mm from
a +40 nC charge?
B. How much electric potential would you measure at a distance of 5 mm from a +40
nC charge?

OUTCOME EL5

I can draw equipotentials for a given electric field

EL5: For the given scenario, draw the equipotentials, labeling high (positive), zero, and
low (negative) potential areas. Include at least 6 equipotential lines. You only need to
consider space within the box. Heavy black lines are conductive material.

Indicate if the electrodes (the shapes on the left and right) are positive or negative.

Why is the oval in the middle empty?

v1
OUTCOME EL6

I can describe and analyze the capacitor


EL6: Design a parallel plate capacitor, including a dielectric, with a capacitance of 150
nF. (Choose all physical parameters and demonstrate that they produce this
capacitance.)

How much voltage is required to hold 200 nC of charge on each plate?
