Along thin rod of mass m and length l is situated along the y axis with one end at the origin. a small spherical mass m1 is placed at the location p, which is at a distance d from the origin.

if l = 2.00 ? 104 m, d = 18.0 ? 104 m, m = 14.0 ? 106 kg, and m1 = 8.00 ? 106 kg, what is the value of this potential energy?

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.
