Slanting Surfaces With Friction: A 200-g hockey puck is launched up a ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30, respectively, and the puck's initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surface of the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?

Thanks to interferometry, a properly spaced set of 10-meter radio telescopes can achieve the angular resolution of a single, 100-kilometer radio telescope.
a. Yes, but with much lower sensitivity than a single, 100- kilometer telescope. b. Yes, and the resulting interferometer will have exactly the same properties as a single, 100-kilometer telescope. c. No, interferometry only works over much smaller distances. d. No, the blurring effects of Earth’s atmosphere limit the achievable angular resolution.
