One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m. Estimate the average wavelength of the sunlight (in nm).

Aball bearing at 220.0 °c is dropped into a cup containing 250.0 g of water at 20.0 °c. the water and ball bearing come to a temperature of 30.0 °c. what is the heat capacity of the ball bearing in j/°c? (hint: how are the algebraic signs of q related for the ball bearing and the water? )

You carry a 7.0-kg bag of groceries 1.2 m above the ground at constant speed across a 2.7m room. how much work do you do on the bag in the process? (a) 157j (b) 0.00j (c) 185j (d) 82j

This problem has been solved! see the answera non-uniform fire escape ladder is 6.0m long whenextended to the icy alley below. it is held at the top by africtionless pivot, and there is neglibible frictional force fromthe icy surface at the bottom. the ladder weighs 250n, and it'scenter of gravity is 2.0m along the ladder from the bottom. amother and child of total weight 750n are on the ladder 1.5m fromthe pivot. the ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal.find the magnitude and direction ofa) the force exerted by the icy alley on the ladderb) the force exerted by the ladder on the pivotc) do your answers in part a and b depend on the angle?
