Thermal escape of an atmosphere is most pronounced on worlds where the gravity is low and the temperature is high. a. true b. false

The ballistic pendulum was invented in 1742 by english mathematician benjamin robins. it consists of an initially stationary pendulum that moves after being struck by a bullet, and it is used to measure the original velocity of the bullet. the known variables are the bullet's mass m, the pendulum's mass m, and the height to which the block and bullet swing, determined by the length of the pendulum l and final angle θ. two principles of physics are necessary to solve for the bullet's original velocity. what are these principles? conservation of momentum and newton's third law conservation of energy and conservation of angular momentum grade summary deductions 0% potential 100% conservation of momentum and newton's second law. newton's second law and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of energy and newton's third law conservation of momentum and conservation of angular momentum. conservation of momentum and conservation of energy conservation of energy and newton's second law.

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.)

Light traveling in water, nwater = 1.33, strikes a plastic block at an angle of incidence of 51.4°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. if the index of refraction of the plastic is 2.0, what is the angle made by the reflected and refracted beams?
