Answer:

34892 km

34.892 km

Explanation:

L = Distance of two objects = 2.6\times 10^8\ km

\lambda = Wavelength = 550 nm

When d = Diameter of pupil = 5 mm

Linear separation

\frac{D}{L}=\frac{1.22\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{1.22\lambda L}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{1.22\times 550\times 10^{-9}\times 2.6\times 10^8\times 10^3}{5\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow D=34892000\ m=34892\ km

Linear separation = 34892 km

When d = 5 m

\frac{D}{L}=\frac{1.22\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{1.22\lambda L}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{1.22\times 550\times 10^{-9}\times 2.6\times 10^8\times 10^3}{5}\\\Rightarrow D=34892\ m=34.892\ km

Linear separation = 34.892 km

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B (D)

Explanation:

If all factors other than elevation are the same for both cities, then City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B. This is because there are fewer air molecules at higher elevations. Fewer air molecules mean less heat is absorbed by the atmosphere, and temperatures are lower. This is why areas high in the mountains are often much cooler than areas down on the plains.

Microwaves are one of the lowest energies on the electromagnetic spectrum. While X-Rays are one of the highest energies on the electromagnetic spectrum. One similarity is that they are both on the electromagnetic spectrum. Also they both travel at the spped of light in a vacuum. One way they are different is They have different frequencies and wavelengths. Also they are used for different studies.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

17. NADH has a molar extinction coefficient of 6200 M2 cm at 340 nm. Calculate the molar concentration of NADH required to obtain an absorbance of 0.1 at 340 nm in a 1-cm path length cuvette. 18. A sample with a path length of 1 cm absorbs 99.0% of the incident light at a wavelength of 274 nm, measured with respect to an appropriate solvent blank. Tyrosine is known to be the only chromophore present in the sample that has significant absorption at 274 nm. Calculate the molar concentration of tyrosine in the sample.

I would recommend, to include the scientific part of Newton's Laws of motion, with an example. Also, state how all three laws play a part in the activity. It seems like you just did the realistic part of it, swimming, now include how it happens with correct vocabulary.  Good Luck!
