Adevice used in golf to estimate the distance d, in yards, to a hole measures the size s, in inches, that the 8-ft pin appears to be in a viewfinder. the viewfinder is held 6 inches from the viewer's eye. express the distance d as a function of s.

Which of the following statements are true of solids? a. the particles do not vibrate. b. the particles are in a fixed location. c. they have strong intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules. d. the particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.

Truck traveling west on the highway experiences an acceleration to the east. what could be the cause of this acceleration

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
