Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor
Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.0-kg box in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes. (b) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0-kg box? (c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0-kg box?
Two spaceships approach each other along a straight line at a constant relative velocity of 0.9880c as measured by the captain of one of the ships. An observer on Earth is able to measure the speed of only one of the ships as 0.9000c
From the point of view of the observer on Earth, what is the speed of the other ship in terms of the speed of light?
When you look at a single slit diffraction pattern produced on a screen by light of a single wavelength, you see a bright central maximum and a number of maxima on either side, their intensity decreasing with distance from the central maximum. If the wavelength of the light is increased,
a. the pattern shrinks in size. (central maximum less wide; other maxima in closer to it) b. the pattern increases in size. (central maximum wider; other maxima farther from it) c. it does not affect the size of the pattern. d. the width of the central maximum increases, but the other maxima do not change in position or width. e. the width of the central maximum decreases, but the other maxima do not change in position or width.
Which type of quantity is characterized by both magnitude and direction?
