Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.150 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.

A) You are given a dye with an excitation maximum of 358 nm and an emission maximum of 461 nm, and your fluorescence microscope has fluorescence cubes with the filters below. Do you think you will you be able to see any fluorescence from this dye using any of these fluorescence cubes? Explain your answer. B) Does it make a difference if the barrier filter is a band pass versus a long pass? Why?

Consider a cylindrical coaxial cable. The center conductor is solid with radius R, while the outer conductor is hollow with inner radius a and outer radius b, Both conductors have the same total current I (of uniform current density), but moving in the opposite direction of each other. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field as a function of r (where r=0 at the central axis) in the interval a is less than or equal to r is less than b.
Note: your final equation should be in terms of the given parameters (r, a, I, etc.) and any other known constants.
