Springs: A very light ideal spring of spring constant (force constant) 2.5 N/cm is 15 cm long when nothing is attached to it. It is now used to pull horizontally on a 12.5-kg box on a perfectly smooth horizontal floor. You observe that the box starts from rest and moves 96 cm during the first 1.6 s of its motion with constant acceleration. How long is the spring during this motion?

A. A camera is an example of an instrument used for _________observations. B. _________ refers to telescopic observations in which we separate an object's light so we can measure its intensity at different wavelengths. C. If we want to confirm that a star's brightness alternately dims and brightens, we need __________ observations of the star. D.

If Planck's constant were smaller than it is, would this affect the sizes of atoms?
A) No, because atomic orbits do not exhibit quantum uncertainties. B) No, because the sizes of atoms are determined by the electromagnetic force acting between the nucleus and the electrons and this force is not affected by quantum phenomena. C) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be larger. D) Yes, atoms would then be larger than they are because the electromagnetic force would be weaker. E) Yes, atoms would then be smaller than they are, because quantum uncertainties would be smaller.
