How does applying force to an object affect its motion

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.

Ineed to answer this problem but i lack in knowledge, what should i study to answer this problem? i have never used derivatives in a physics problem so i'm not sure what's happening and i can't find videos explaining.

The pressure in car tires is often measured in pounds per square inch (lb/in.2), with the recommended pressure being in the range of 25 to 45 lb/in.2. suppose a tire has a pressure of 27.5 lb/in.2 . convert 27.5 lb/in.2 to its equivalent in atmospheres.
