Why don’t we notice changes in the elevation of the land due to the moon’s pull?

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by b. what is the magnitude of the magnetic field at twice the distance from the conductor? a. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 4b.b. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is 2b.c. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/2.d. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field is b/4.e. at twice the distance, the magnitude of the field remains equal to b.

To practice problem-solving strategy 10.1 for energy conservation problems. a sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. after the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. find the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the sled and the ground, assuming that it is constant throughout the trip.
