In a single-slit experiment, the slit width is 170 times the wavelength of the light. What is the width (in mm) of the central maximum on a screen 2.4 m behind the slit?

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°c to 363°c? the answer is expressed to the nearest whole number.

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?

The first law of thermodynamics states that heat added to a system is neither created nor destroyed but is as it changes into other forms of energy.
