(E) A motorcyclist \( M \) leaves a road junction at time \( t=0 \). She accelerates from rest at a rate of \( 3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2} \) for 8 s and then maintains the velocity she has reached. A car \( C \) leaves the same mad junction as \( M \) at time \( t=0 \). The car accelerates from rest to \( 30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) in 20 sand them maintains the velocity of \( 30 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \). C passes \( M \) as they both pass a pedestrian. a On the same diagram, sketch speed-time graphs to illustrate. the motion of \( M \) and \( C \).

QUESTION 7 (Start on a new page.) 7.1 Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves meet a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and reflects the waves off the surface. Draw a fully labelled ray diagram to illustrate reflection.

3) Choose the correct alternative and rewrite the statement (i) The weight of a body on the earth's surface \( =\ldots \ldots . \). \( \begin{array}{llll}\text { (a) } \frac{G M m}{R} & \text { (b) } \frac{G M m}{R^{2}} & \text { (c) } G M m R^{2} & \text { (d) } \frac{G m}{R^{2}}\end{array} \)

8.4 To produce an emf of 9 V , the area of the coil, with its axis coinciding with the direction of a magnetic field (area perpendicular to magnetic field), is halved in 2 minutes from \( 0.6 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \) to \( 0,3 \mathrm{~m}^{2} \). Calculate the number of turns around the coil.

157. Una bombola a pareti rigide di 30 L contiene \( 0,5 \mathrm{moli} \) di un gas perfetto biatomico alla temperatura iniziale di \( 20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \). Essa viene tenuta sotto il sole per un certo tem- po e si nota che la temperatura finale è di \( 80^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \). Trascu- rando la dilatazione termica della bombola, si calcoli: - il lavoro fatto dal gas; - la variazione di pressione del gas; - la variazione di energia interna del gas. [0 J; \( \left.8,3 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Pa} ; 6,2 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~J}\right] \) (Esame di Fisica, Corso di laurea in Farmacia, Università La Sapienza di Roma, 2006/2007)

7.2 A beam of light travels from water to plastic. The speed of light in plastic is \( 2,05 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} \cdot \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \). The refractive index of water is 1,33 . Calculate the refractive index of plastic.
