What is the frequency as measured by the observer : Suppose a toy oscillated with a frequency of 500 Hz and hence a period of 0.002s. If the toy moves past an observer at 0.9c, what is the frequency as measured by the observer?

A telescope consists of a mirror with radius of curvature : A telescope consists of a mirror with radius of curvature 6.5 m and an eyepiece. If an astronomer would like the telescope to have a magnification of 114, what focal length eyepiece should he use?

Although all atoms have moving electric charges : Although all atoms have moving electric charges, not all materials are magnetic (for example, copper or wood are not magnetic). Why, then, aren't all materials magnetic?

The lens of a slide projector with a focal length : The lens of a slide projector with a focal length of 100.0 mm projects a slide onto a screen that is 10.0 m away. How far from the lens must the slide be placed to form a sharp image on the screen?(in cm)

Function generator generates a periodic square wave signal : A function generator generates a periodic ”square wave” signal. One period of such

What is the work done by the surroundings on the balloon : The First Law of Thermodynamics is essentially a statement of conservation of energy. It involves changes in internal energy, the heat flowing into the system and the work done by the system. When heat flows into the system, the internal energy of..

How many molecules of gas are inside the balloon : The ideal gas law relates the temperature, pressure and volume of an ideal gas. Suppose the gas inside a particular balloon has an absolute pressure of 3.10×105 Pa and occupies a volume of 5.97×10-3 m3 at a temperature of 10.5°C. How many moles of..
