A student performs Young’s double-slit experiment with slits that are separated by 0.160 mm. She observes the interference pattern on a screen 60.0 cm from the slits, and measures the distance between the first and tenth maxima to one side of the central bright spot to be 17.0 mm. What is the wavelength of the light that was used in the experiment?

According to newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true? as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases. as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases. as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases. as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases. as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.

What explosion in the upper solar atmosphere releases about as much energy as millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously?
