6. A boy pushes a 0.50 kg book across a table by exerting a net force of 8.00 N on it. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration that the book will experience.

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. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Isla’s change in velocity is 30 m/s, and hazel has the same change in velocity. which best explains why they would have different accelerations? isla had negative acceleration, and hazel had positive. isla had a different time than hazel. isla had positive acceleration, and hazel had negative. isla went a farther distance than hazel.

The coefficient of friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two in contact with one another.
