The wavelength of red light is about 700 nm: λred = 700 nm. Which is larger, a grain of sand (diameter roughly 0.2 mm) or a wave of red light? How many times larger?

Aregion of space in which a measurable gravitational force is indicated by the force exerted on a test mass is called

Which planet do you think would be easiest for humans to colonize some day?

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
