When you turn on a lightbulb in a room, the entire room appears to flood with light at the same time. your eyes cannot perceive light originating at the bulb and then moving outward from it. this either means that light has infinite speed (appears everywhere instantaneously), or it moves so fast that it is difficult to tell the difference. how might you improve your chances of detecting the motion of light if it moves at finite speed?

If the temperature were raised very high, classically what would we expect the heat capacity per object to be for this one-dimensional system? give a numerical value. chigh t = __ j/k/object (one reason for the discrepancy is that the high-temperature limit assumes that the number of oscillators is large (n > > 1), which is not the case in this tiny system.)

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.15 times a second. a tack is stuck in the tire at a distance of 0.373 m from the rotation axis. noting that for every rotation the tack travels one circumference (a) find the tack's tangential speed. (b) what is the tacks radial acceleration?

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
