My calculator is about 1cm thick, 7cm wide, and 13cm long.

Its volume is (length) (width) (thick) = (13 x 7 x 1) = 91 cm³ .

The question wants me to assume that the density of my calculator
is about  the same as the density of water.  That doesn't seem right
to me.  I could check it easily.  All I have to do is put my calculator
into water, watch to see if sinks or floats, and how enthusiastically. 
I won't do that.  I'll accept the assumption.

If its density is actually 1 g/cm³, then its mass is about 91 grams.

The choices of answers confused me at first, until I realized that
the choices are actually 1g, 10² g, 10⁴ g, and 10⁶ g.

My result of 91 grams is about 100 grams ... about 10² grams.

Your results could be different.

An Argon laser (λ = 5.0×102nm) shines down a silica glass fiber-optic cable with index of refraction 1.46. What is the speed of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, \lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let c_f is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}

c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}

c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s

or

c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the laser light is 2.1\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. Yo
Advocard [28]

Answer:

laser's wavelength λ = 597.4 nm

Explanation:

Given:

Slit spacing, d = 1.17mm

Tenth bright fringe y = 4.57cm

Distance from slits, D = 8.95m

n = 10

λ = (d * y) / (D * n)

λ = (1.17x10⁻³ * 4.57x10⁻²) / (8.95 x 10)

λ = 5.3469‬x10⁻⁵ / 8.95x10¹

λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁵⁻¹

λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁶ m

λ = 597.4 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 597.4 nm

4. A bullet of mass 30 g is fired from a rifle of mass 5kg at a speed of 259m/s. 
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Rifle Momentum=7.77kg*m/s v'= 1.554 m/s

Explanation:

a) m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1' + m2v2'

0+0 = 0.03*259 + P(rifle momentum)

solve for P

p= 7.77kg*m/s

b) 7.77= 5*v'

v'= 1.554 m/s
