Microtubules are filamentous structures in cells that maintain cell shape and facilitate the movement of molecules within the cell. They are long, hollow cylinders with a diameter of about 25 nm. It is possible to incorporate fluorescent molecules into microtubules; when illuminated by an ultraviolet light, the fluorescent molecules emit visible light that can be imaged by the optical system of a microscope. Required:
If the emitted light has a wavelength of 550nm and the NA of the microscope objective is 1.3, what is the smallest resolvable separation between two objects in the microscope?

Identify the type of synthetic material used in each object

Acar travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. the car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous velocity is 16 m/s, 45° north of west. what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the four-second interval?

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?
