The Hubble Space Telescope has an aperture of 2.4 m and focuses visible light (400-700 nm). The Arecibo radio telescope in Puert

o Rico is 305 m (1000 ft) in diameter (it is built in a mountain valley) and focuses radio waves of wavelength 75 cm.
Under optimal viewing conditions, what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon?

Answer:

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

Explanation:

what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon?

For moon ;

s = 3.8 × 10 ⁸ m

y = 1.22 λs/D

where;

λ = 400 nm = 400× 10 ⁻⁹

D = 2.4 m

The smallest crater for the hubble space is calculated as follows:

y_{hubble} = 1.22*400*10^{-9}*3.8*10^8/2.4

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

For Aceribo ;

y = 1.22 λs/D

where :

λ = 75 cm = 0.75 m

D = 305 m

y_{acerbo} = 1.22*0.75 *3.8*10^8/305

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

How much time does it take a rhino running at 40 m/s to run 250 m?​
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Rhinoceroses are odd-toed ungulates native to sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia, though all five living species have hugely contracted in range and number due to the influence of humans. Despite their titanic, tank-like bulk, rhinos can be amazingly swift: The fastest may reach at least 50 kilometers per hour (31 mph).
