A 62.3 kg person jumps from rest off a 3.11 m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance during the descent. She comes to rest 1.14 m under the surface of the water. Determine the magnitude of the average force that the water exerts on the diver. This force is nonconservative.

The momentum of an isolated system is conserved a) only in inelastic collisions. b) only in elastic collisions. c) in both elastic and inelastic collisions

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.

If it takes a planet 2.8 x 10^8 s to orbit a star with a mass of 6.2 x 10^30 kg what is the average distance between the planet and the star
