Homework Statement An experiment using a diffraction grating with a monochromatic light source is performed to create an interference pattern on a screen. Consider the following changes: I. Increase the line density of the grating. II. Decrease the frequency of the source. III. Increase...

I tried connecting the two forces Fapp = - F john on lucy but I still need acceleration, which I can't figure out because there is no distance.

I tried reduce the Kinetic energy by half, but the answer is incorrect. Thanks.

Homework Statement Two girls are playing baseball in a park. The batter hits the 400-g ball with a speed of 20.0 m/s. It travels over the park's fence that is 4.00 m high. Assuming that the ball loses half of its energy to air resistance, at what speed does the ball travel over the fence...

Homework Statement Johnny, of mass 65 kg, and Lucy, of mass 45 kg, are facing each other on roller blades. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the roller blades and concrete surface is 0.20. When Johnny pushes Lucy from rest he applies a force for 1.0 s. Lucy then slows down to a...
