Problem 16P Suppose you flip 1000 coins. a) What is the probability of getting exactly 500 heads and 500 tails? (Hint: First write down a formula for the total number of possible outcomes. Then, to determine the multiplicity of the 500-500 macrostate, use Stirlings approximation. If you have a fancy

Problem 84CP A cannon on a train car fires a projectile to the right with speed v0, relative to the train, from a barrel elevated at angle ?. The cannon fires just as the train, which had been causing to the right along a level track with speed vtrain, begins to accelerate with acceleration a. Find

A sports car of mass 950 kg (including the driver) crosses the rounded top of a hill (radius = 95 m) at 22 m/s. Determine (a) the normal force exerted by the road on the car. (b) the normal force exerted by the car on the 72-kg driver, and (c) the car speed at which the normal force on the driver equ

Problem 89CP Two students are canoeing on a river. While heading upstream, they accidentally drop an empty bottle overboard. They then continue paddling for 60 minutes, reaching a point 2.0 km farther upstream. At this point they realize that the bottle is missing and, driven by ecological awarenes
