Problem 9E If Earth were smaller than it is, but the Alexandria-to-Syene distance were the same, would the shadow of the vertical pillar in Alexandria be longer or shorter at noon during the summer solstice?

An Introduction to Thermal Physics 1
Problem 11P Consider a gas of hard spheres, which do not interact at all unless their separation distance is less than r0, in which case then interaction energy is infinite. Sketch the Mayer f-function for this gas, and compute the second virial coefficient. Discuss the result briefly.

The Cosmic Perspective Fundamentals 2
Problem 14SEQ Comparing Methods. What are the strengths and limitations of the Doppler and transit methods? What kinds of planets are easiest to detect with each method? Are there certain planets that each method cannot detect, even if the planets are very large? Explain. What advantages are gained i
