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.

Aleaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 15 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.7 kg/m. initially the bucket contains 45 kg of water, but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches the 15-m level. find the work done. (use 9.8 m/s2 for g.) show how to approximate the required work by a riemann sum. (let x be the height in meters above the ground. enter xi* as xi.) lim n → ∞ n (9.8)(45−3 xi) i = 1 δx express the work as an integral. 0 dx evaluate the integral. (round your answer to the nearest integer.) j

Contrast the force of gravity between these pairs of objects: 1-kg mass and a 2-kg mass that are 1 m apart; a 1-kg mass and a 2-kg mass that are 2 m apart; and two 2=kg masses that are 1 m apart. i dont understand.
