(III) The two masses shown in Fig. 452 are each initially 1.80 m above the ground, and the massless frictionless pulley is 4.8 m above the ground. What maximum height does the lighter object reach after the system is released? [Hint: First determine the acceleration of the lighter mass and then its v

Problem 48E A converging lens 7.20 cm in diameter has a focal length of 300 mm. If the resolution is diffraction limited, how far away can an object be if points on it 4.00 mm apart are to be resolved (according to Rayleighs criterion)? Use ? = 550 nm.

A physical pendulum consists of an 85-cm-long, 240-g-mass, uniform wooden rod hung from a nail near one end (Fig. 14-38). The motion is damped because of friction in the pivot; the damping force is approximately t proportional to d6/dt. The rod is set in oscillation by displacing it 15 from its equil

Compute the moment of the 100-lb force about A, (a) by using the definition of the moment of a force, (b) by resolving the force into horizontal and vertical components, (c) by resolving the force into components along AB and in the direction perpendicular to AB.

How many signals are produced by each of the following compounds in its a. 1H NMR spectrum? b. 13C NMR spectrum?

Public Finance: A Contemporary Application of Theory to Policy 11
What is logrolling? Under what conditions is logrolling likely to emerge? How can logrolling prevent the attainment of efficiency?

General Chemistry. Principles and Modern Applications 11
When an iron object rusts, its mass increases. When a match burns, its mass decreases. Do these observations violate the law of conservation of mass? Explain.

A massive die-off of lobsters in the Long Island Sound was blamed on pesticides sprayed to control mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus. Why might a chemical designed to kill insects also harm lobsters but have no effect on sea stars?
