A series of bright fringes appears on the viewing screen of a Young's double-slit experiment. Suppose you move from one bright fringe to the next one farther out from the central bright fringe. Does the difference in path lengths of the light waves increase or decrease, and by what amount does it change? Express your answer in terms of the wavelength λ of the light.

Ahot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. after it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

When you hold a rectangular object, how does the area of the side that is resting on your hand affect the pressure and the force that the object exerts?
