1.    A point is chosen at random in the interior of a circle of radius R. The probability that the point falls inside a given region situated in the interior of the circle is proportional to the area of this region. Find the probability that:

a)    The point occurs at a distance less than r (r>R) from the center

b)    The smaller angle between a given direction and the line joining the point to the center does not exceed α.

If two chords intersect in the interior of a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equals the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord. Each product equals r2-d2, where r is the radius of the circle and d is the distance from the point of intersection of the chords to the center.

Which of the following is a correct statement? (1 point) The direction of the electric field due to a negative point charge is directed away from the charge. The direction of the electric force on a positive charge is opposite to the direction of the electric field at its location. The magnitude of the electric field due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charge and the point. The unit of measurement...

A box is sliding down a spherical hill. The hill radius is R=1 km. The ball starts with zero initial velocity. There is friction between the box and the hill surface The box slips off the hill when the line connecting center of the Hill to its position is at angle θ=10 degrees. What is the speed of the box at this point right before it detaches from Hill? How much energy is lost due to friction while the box...
