The red shift is evidence of an expanding universe : The Red Shift is evidence of an expanding Universe. A star like our Sun has a peak wavelength of 518 nm. If the star appeared to have a peak wavelength of 530 nm, find the rate of expansion (velocity) between that star and our Sun.

What is characteristic frequency of this mass-spring system : A 200 gram mass is hung from a spring. The weight of the mass stretches the spring by 25 cm. What is the characteristic frequency of this mass-spring system?

Assume the density of the fluid is the same as water : Gravity fed intravenous infusions are made possible by hanging a bag of fluid above the patient. If blood pressure is 18 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure, find the minimum height of the bag such that fluid flows into the body. Assume the density of t..

How long of a burn is needed to reduce the orbital speed : The space shuttle needs to slow down in order to return from its orbit. It does so by reversing direction and firing its 3 main engines for a short amount of time. The mass of the space shuttle is 2.0 x 106 kg and has an orbital speed of 8000 m/s. Th..
