A tiny scrap of paper is suspended motionless below a plastic pen that carries a net charge of Q. Focus on a single carbon atom in the scrap of paper. Suppose that the center of the outer electron cloud (with a charge of -4e) of this carbon atom shifts a distance s when the carbon atom is polarized by the pen. Required:
a. Use the momentum principle (Newton's 2nd Law) to derive a mathematical (algebraic) expression for s.
b. Using your result for s, derive an algebraic expression for the atom's polarizability, a.

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
