A physicist is investigating a beam of laser light of wavelength 550 nm. The light strikes a target that is 189 meters away from the source of the light. What is the travel time of the light from the source to the target? Let the speed of light c = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s.

An ideal gas is held in a container at constant volume. initially, its temperature is 5 degrees c and its pressure is 1.2 atm. what is its pressure when its temperature is 43 degrees c? answer in units of atm

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg
