You are standing in air and are looking at a flat piece of glass (n = 1.52) on which there is a layer of transparent plastic (n = 1.61). Light whose wavelength is 595 nm in vacuum is incident nearly perpendicularly on the coated glass and reflects into your eyes. The layer of plastic looks dark.

Find the smallest possible nonzero value for the thickness of the layer.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
