Chapter 17, Problem 5A
To determine
To Compare: The size of the atoms with the
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The smallest particle of matter is an atom. Atoms are not visible under visible light.
The size of atom is much smaller than the wavelengths of visible light that’s why atoms are not visible under visible light. Atoms are almost 10000 times smaller than visible light.
Conclusion:
The wavelength of visible light is much larger than size of atom.

- The character Min Min from Arms was a DLC character added to Super Smash Bros. Min Min’s arms are large springs, with a spring constant of 8.53 ⋅ 10^3 N/m, which she uses to punch and fling away her opponents. Min Min pushes her spring arm against Steve, who is not moving, compressing it 1.20 m as shown in figure A. Steve has a mass of 81.6 kg. Assuming she uses only the spring to launch Steve, how fast is Steve moving when the spring is no longer compressed?
