23. Homer drops his Nikon over the edge of the cliff at Half Dome, in Yosemite National Park. This cliff is concave, and the Nikon impacts the rocks below, 14.8 seconds later. Calculate the height of the cliff in meters and feet (note that this ignores wind resistance which becomes significant for free fall heights this large)

2. On their way back from the Moon, suppose that when the capsule holding Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins was halfway between the Earth and the Moon (192000 km from the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon), its speed was 2 km/hr. Assuming they don't fire their thrusters, what is the speced of the capsule when reaches Earth? (If this seems the same as the previous problem, just with bigger numbers, you are missing a very important concept!)
The principle of relativity was recognised as both a mechanical and optical effect. Einstein believed that the principle should hold for both situations. One of his thought experimentds involves him sitting on a train travelling at the speed of light and looking at a mirror. He asked the question as to whether he would be able to see his own reflection. a) Outline one possible answer to Einstein's question and the problems involved in your answer in terms of the principle of relativity. b) What was Einstein's conclusion to this thought experiment?c) The theory of relativity discusses the physical consequences of a universal frame of reference. The special theory of relativity, published in 1905 by Albert Einstein, is concerned with problems involving inertial frame of reference. Its fundamental principles, however, caused discrepancies in measurements. Describe TWO apparent discrepancies caused by these fundamental principles.

*** 10. In very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) tracking of interplanetary spacecraft, a 8.4-GHz radio signal is sent from a spacecraft toward the earth. In order to determine the angular position of the spacecraft, the signal is received simultaneously at two Deep Space Network (DSN) stations and the phase of the received signal at each station is measured rela- tive to a stable clock. The distance between the antenna in Australia and the one in California is 10,588,966.336 m. To spacecraft 10,588,966.336 m Australia California a) What is the wavelength of the X-band radio signal? b) If the phase of the signal in the Australia antenna is found to be 10,458.6 cycles ahead of the signal in the California antenna, what must be the angle between the direction to the spacecraft and the normal to the baseline (the dashed line in the figure above)?

7. There are two lifeguard stations along the shoreline. Station B is 50 meters east of station A. A troubled swimmer is spotted by lifeguards at both stations. If the troubled swimmer is spotted at a 35° angle from the guard at station A anda 41° angle from station B (swimmer between A and B), which lifeguard is the shortest distance from the swimmer? By how many meters? 8. A road slopes 19° above the horizontal, and a vertical telephone pole stands beside the road. The angle of elevation of the sun is 56°, and the pole casts a 15.5 foot shadow downhill along the road, Draw and label the appropriate diagram. Find the height of the telephone.
