During the final exam,the professor answered 35 questions from students (other than,,may I go to the bathroom,,) Obviously, some students asked more than one question, and there may have been some who didn,t ask any.(By the end of the exam,theprofessor couldn,t remember-they may even have all been asked by same student)

When preparing for the finalexam, the students decide to form study groups. Six of the students do not want to participate in study groups, so the other 20 students are going to divide themselves into 5 groups of 4.Each group will (separately)study all of the course material together.In how many different ways can the 20 students divide themselves up into the study groups?

A certain string breaks when it is subjected to 400 N of tension.A boy uses this string to whirl a 5.0-kg stone in a horizontal circle of radius 5.0 m.The boy continuosly increases the speed of the stone.At approximately what speed will the string break?(multiple choice answers below, but of course,we have to show work)
(a)10, m/s, (b) 20, m/s, (c) 80. m/s, (d)100 m/s (1.0x102 m/s),or (e)400 m/s (4.0xIo2 m/s)
What is the rotaion rate (revolutions per minute (rpm) of the stone just before the string breaks?
(f) 0.050 rpm,(g)0.64 rpm, (h)1.6 rpm, (i)38rpm,or (j)60rpm

The ball in the figure (below) is supported by the two (massless) cables.You are told that the weight of the ball is 175 N.What are the tensions in cable 1 and cable 2?With the information given to you,do the tensions depend on whether or not this problem is being solved on Earth or Zarkon? Assuming that this situation is on Zarkon,what is the mass of the ball?

At some point in the future, after the Earth olympics, the milky way olympics are held on the planet zarkon.(zarkon is inhabited by folks who like to think up physics questions.) This planet has a mass that is 0.100 that of the Earth, and a radius that is 0.500 that of the Earth.zarkon also has a little moon Abba (that is rumored to be populated by retired swedish rock stars).Abba hasa mass which is 0.010 that of zarkon,and a radius which is 0.20 that of zarkon.what is the acceleration of gravity (9 abba ) at the surface of Abba?

Some students have gone to visit Valley of Fire State park to study rock formations.They park their car and then begin walking to various interesting areas.First, they walk northeast (45%0 north of east) for 900.meters.Then,they walk 1.200 km in a direction 50.%0 north of west.Finally, they walk 0.700 km in a direction 30.0 south of west and then set up camp for the night.It took two hours for the students to walk from their car to their camp.
A How far is camp from the car (distance and direction (with respect to north)?
B What was the students, average speed between the car and camp?
C What was the students, average velocity between the car and camp?
