One of the laser commonly used to produce blue and green light in laser light shows in the Ar+ ion laser, which operates using gaseous Ar+ ions. Consider a gas of these Ar+ ions. Would you expect the compressibility factor for this system to be greater than, less than, or equal to 1? Explain your reasoning.
A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't
break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 88.0 kg, the vine is 12.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been
determined to be 8.60 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?
