a car of mass of 2300 kg slows down at a rate of 3.0 m/s ^2 when approaching a stop sign. what is the magnitude of the net force causing it to slow down

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. you see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m. what is (a) the average wavelength of sunlight? (b) the diameter of the pinhole?

When a light bulb shines, it gives off light energy and energy. a. heat b. potential c. chemical d. electrical

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
