What is speed of rock when it encounters earths atmosphere : An asteroid hits the Moon and ejects a large rock from its surface. The rock has enough speed to ravel to a point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational forces on it from the Earth and the Moon are equal in magnitude and opposite i..

Satellite is placed in noncircular orbit about the earth : A satellite is placed in a noncircular orbit about the Earth. The farthest point of its orbit (apogee) is 4 earth radii from the center of the Earth, while its nearest point (perigee) is 2 Earth radii from the Earth's center.

A double-slit interference pattern has a fringe : A double-slit interference pattern has a fringe (a “fringe” is an interference maximum) spacing of 4.0 mm. How far from the central maximum is the first position at which the intensity is equal to I1, the intensity due to each individual slit? In thi..

Calculate the orbital speed and the escape speed : Suppose a satellite is in a circular orbit 3.0 Earth radii above the surface of the Earth (3.0 Earth radii from the center of the Earth). By how much does it have to increase its speed in order to be able to escape Earth?

Advantages and disadvantages of such high voltages : long-distance electric-power transmission lines always operate at very high voltage. what are the advantages and disadvantages of such high voltages?

Liquid-detecting prism devices used in washing machine : Liquid-detecting prism devices may be used in a washing machine or other liquid-containing devices. If no liquid covers the prism's hypotenuse, total internal refletion from the light source produces a large signal in the light sensor.

The radii of the wheels of a compound wheel and axle : The radii of the wheels of a compound wheel and axle are 2cm, 5cm,and 10cm.It is found to have an efficiency of 90%. If a 500 kg load is lifted by the machine, how much effort in newtons is applied? what frictional force acts? Show a diagram of the s..

Two speakers are driven by a common oscillator : Two speakers are driven by a common oscillator at 800 Hz and face each other at a distance of 1.25 m. Locate the points along a line joining the two speakers where relative minima would be expected. (Use v = 343 m/s).

Determine total energy of oscillating systems : A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t=0, the mass is released from rest at x=10.0 cm (That is, the spring is stretched by 10.00cm)
