Two atoms in a diatomic molecule (masses m1 and m2) interact through a potential energy function of the form u(r) = a 4r 4 − b 3r 3 , where a and b are constants and r is the separation of the atoms. a) find the equilibrium separation of the atoms and the frequency of small oscillations about equilibrium, assuming the molecule does not rotate. how much energy must be supplied to the molecule in equilibrium in order to break it up (that is, so that r → [infinity])?

Two technicians are discussing a resistance measurement between the can-h and can-l wires. technician a says this measurement should be done with the ignition switch in the "run" position. technician b states that a measurement of 0 ohms indicates an open in the network. which technician is correct?

Samir watches a 100-minute movie on his spaceship. maria's spaceshipe flies in the same direction as samir's spaceship but she observes his move to last 125 minutes and his spaceship to be 40 m long. how long does samir observe his own spaceship to be? according to an observer on earth, planet x is stationary. maria and samir depart earth on their spaceships at the same time, each flying at 0.5c. maria flies toward planet x and samir flies in the opposite direction. according to maria, her voyage to planet x takes 9 years. how many years does marias voyage take according to samir?
