    Need Help Solving Physics Problem Regarding Green Light

    hey so I'm having a lot of trouble on this section of physics. the question I'm on is: Green light (546nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. what width slit will produce a central maximum that is 2.3 cm wide on a screen 1.42m from the slit? I've been trying to manipulate...

    Easy problem but i'm getting something wrong

    my work as i got .7586 m/s2 as the acceleration, i multiplied by 3 seconds to get 2.28 m/s then i multiplied 2.28x 3 seconds to get 6.83 meters

    Easy problem but i'm getting something wrong

    In a grocery store, you push a 14.5 kg shopping cart with a force of 11.0 N. If the cart starts at rest, how far does it move in 3.00 s? i've got that acceleration = force/mass so the acceleration i got was .7586 but for some reason i keep getting the answer to the problem wrong...

    Ferry Velocity and Passenger Motion: Solving for Direction and Magnitude

    HELP please: vector angles and velocity Alright i don't nessesarily need an answer for this but maybe just a way to set it up. The problem is worded weird and no one can figure it out. A passenger walks from one side of the ferry to the other side as it approaches a dock. If the...

    Probably an easy problem but i'm having trouble- gravity

    I think this will be easy for someone who understands this stuff: While riding on an elevato descending with a constant speed of 2.6 m/s you accidently drop a book from under your arm. a. How long does it take for the book to reach the elevator floor, 1.1m below your arm? (in seconds)...
