1. Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a CD or DVD disk, or when you look at a soap bubble or oil film on water? 2. What do you think causes the colors on the artwork panels on the side of HLS2 (Health Sciences building) which change with time of day and the angle from which you view them?

Awheel rotates without friction about a stationary horizontal axis at the center of the wheel. a constant tangential force equal to 82.0 n is applied to the rim of the wheel. the wheel has radius 0.150 m . starting from rest, the wheel has an angular speed of 12.8 rev/s after 3.88 s. what is the moment of inertia of the wheel?

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 12 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h = 12t − 1.86t2. (a) find the velocity of the rock after two seconds. m/s (b) find the velocity of the rock when t = a. 12−3.72a m/s (c) when will the rock hit the surface? (round your answer to one decimal place.) t = s (d) with what velocity will the rock hit the surface? m/s

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i. e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i. e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
