An aircraft carrier uses a device called a catapult to accelerate jets to the speed needed for take off. the flight decks on these carriers have length d = 84 m. a jet with a mass of m = 13317 kg can be accelerated from rest to a speed of v = 53 m/s by the end of the flight deck.

a. select the correct symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average net force, fl, acting on the jet during its launch.
i. fl=mv/d
ii. fl=mv^2/2d
iii. fl=mv/2d
iv. fl=mv^2/d
v. fl=mvd
vi. fl=v^2/2d

b. calculate the numerical value of the magnitude of the force f in newtons?
c. what is the numerical value of the ratio r of the launch force fl to the jet's weight?

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
