Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. if λ=532 nm, what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km.

The ballistic pendulum was invented in 1742 by english mathematician benjamin robins. it consists of an initially stationary pendulum that moves after being struck by a bullet, and it is used to measure the original velocity of the bullet. the known variables are the bullet's mass m, the pendulum's mass m, and the height to which the block and bullet swing, determined by the length of the pendulum l and final angle θ. two principles of physics are necessary to solve for the bullet's original velocity. what are these principles? conservation of momentum and newton's third law conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% conservation of momentum and newton's second law. newton's second law and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of energy and newton's third law conservation of momentum and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of momentum and conservation of energy conservation of energy and newton's second law.

Will give brainliest! which statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces? weak nuclear forces are involved when certain types of atoms break down. strong nuclear forces are responsible for holding atoms' nucleus together. weak nuclear forces hold bonds between atoms together. strong nuclear forces hold together the nucleus of an atom. strong nuclear bonds prevent atoms from falling apart. weak nuclear bonds prevent compounds from falling apart. strong nuclear forces are involved in breaking electrons from their shells. weak nuclear forces hold protons in the nucleus.

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.
