During an occultation, or "covering up," of Jupiter by the Moon, an astronomer notices that it takes the Moon’s edge 90 seconds to cover Jupiter’s disk completely (starting from the moment of initial "contact"). If the Moon’s motion is assumed to be uniform and the occultation was "central" (that is, center over center), find the angular diameter of Jupiter. Express your answer in arcseconds. [Hint: Assume that Jupiter does not appear to move against the background of stars during this brief 90-second interval. You will need to convert the Moon’s angular speed from degrees per day to arcseconds per second.]

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Athin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge q is bent into a circle of radius r. the central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z-axis, with the origin at the center of the ring. a) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = 0? n/c (b) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = infinity? n/c (c) in terms of r, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum? r (d) if r = 4.00 cm and q = 9.00 µc, what is the maximum magnitude? n/c
