Shanika is an engineer at an amusement park who is experimenting with changes to the setup for a magnetic roller coaster ride. I
n one ride, there are two identical roller coaster cars (orange and green) that start on opposite sides of a large magnet located at the center of a station. Shanika wants to get the largest increase in potential energy she can by moving one car one space to the left or the right.
Shanika can move the orange car to point A or point B, or she can move the green car to point C or point D. Which movement should she make? Why will that movement result in the largest increase in potential energy? Describe the magnetic force that will act on the roller coaster car she moves.

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation
In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
1 / lambda = R(h)* ( -
)
= 109678 ( -
)
= 109678 (8/9)
Lambda = 9 / (109678 * 8 )
= 102.6 * m = 102.6 nm

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.
Here,
M = Mass
R = Radius of the hoop
The precession frequency is given as
Here,
M = Mass
g= Acceleration due to gravity
d = Distance of center of mass from pivot
I = Moment of inertia
= Angular velocity
Replacing the value for moment of inertia
The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then
Replacing our values we have that
The precession frequency is
Therefore the precession period is 5.4s
