A laser beam takes 15 ms to travel from a rocket to the reflective surface of a planet and back to the rocket. How far is the rocket from this planet's surface

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.

Aman is trying to drag a small tree that he cut down. if the static coefficient of friction of the tree on the ground is 0.5 and the tree weighs 670 n, what is the minimum amount of horizontal force that the man will need to apply so that the tree will start moving? o a. 465 n o b. 230 n o c. 670 n o d. 335 n
