You are looking down at the earth from inside a jetliner flying at an altitude of 9440 m. The pupil of your eye has a diameter of 1.96 mm. Decide how far apart two cars must be on the ground if you are to have any hope of distinguishing among them in red light (wavelength = 667 nm in vacuum).

Concave mirror and a plane mirror problem : A concave mirror and a plane mirror (f = 6.70 cm) are facing each other and are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm. An object is placed 11.0 cm in front of the plane mirror. Consider the light from the object that reflects first from the plane mirror..

Liquid is dripped onto and spreads across a water surface : A liquid is dripped onto and spreads across a water surface until the liquid layer is one molecule thick. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.25 and that of the water 1.333. A student shines ultraviolet light on the liquid layer and decides th..

Compute the time constant of the circuit : A 19.8 kΩ resistor and a capacitor are connected in series and then a 12.0 V potential difference is suddenly applied across them. The potential dissimilarity across the capacitor raises to 8.83 Vin 1.92 µs. (a) Compute the time constant of the circu..

What is the maximum speed attained by the person : A person bounces up and down on a trampoline, even as always staying in contact with it. The motion is simple harmonic motion, and it takes 2.49 s to complete one cycle. The height of each bounce above the equilibrium position is 38.7 cm.

Determine is the frequency of the eardrums vibrations : When responding to sound, the human eardrum vibrates about its equilibrium position. Assume an eardrum is vibrating with amplitude of 7.1x10-7 m and a maximum speed of3.8x10-3 m/s.

Magnitude of the average torque due to frictional forces : A bicycle wheel, of radius 0.31 m and mass 3.0 kg (concentrated on the rim) is rotating at 4.20 rev/s. After 42 s the wheel comes to a stop as of friction. What is the magnitude of the average torque due to frictional forces?

Views his full image in a plane mirror : A cowboy, 6.8 feet tall with his hat, views his full image in a plane mirror. Find the image height of a man 1.9 m tall, standing 3.3 m from the ornament. A spherical silver Christmas tree ornament, 11 cm in diameter, acts as a mirror.
