Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the angular acceleration when it has an angle of 10.0 degrees from the vertical?

Part F

Calculate the time t for the pencil to hit the ground, assuming that it falls from standing perfectly vertical and maintains this angular acceleration.

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 two students are running down the hall toward each other, trying to get to class, and they have the same mass and acceleration, what will happen when they collide? will their forces cancel out or will each one experience a reaction?
