A50.0-n box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. you observe that at one instant the box is sliding to the right at and that it stops in 2.25 s with uniform acceleration. what magnitude force does friction exert on this box

Acylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 gpa (30 × 106psi) and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) experiences only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 n (2000 lbf) is applied. compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
