Answer:

4.96cm

Explanation:

distance  = 5.20km = 5.2 × 10³ m

Wavelength , λ = 550nm = 5.50 × 10⁻⁷m

distance of moon, L = 384000 km = 3.84 × 10⁸m

formula for resolving power of two objects

d = (1.22 × λ ×L) / D

D = (1.22 × λ ×L) / d

    = (1.22 × 5.50 × 10⁻⁷ ×3.84 × 10⁸) / 5.2 × 10³

D = 4.96cm

A 1400.0 kg car crests a 3200.0 m pass in the mountains and briefly comes to rest. The car descends 1000 m before climbing and c
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) v = 88.54 m/s

b) vf = 26.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 1400.0 kg

a)

by using the energy conservation

loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²

so

1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²

5488000 = 700v²

v² = 5488000 / 700

v² = 7840

v = √7840

v = 88.54 m/s

b)

Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE

W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)

we substitute

1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf²  -0 )

488000 = 700 vf²

vf² = 488000 / 700

vf² = 697.1428

vf = √697.1428

vf = 26.4 m/s

A 0.850 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 18 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wit
Sveta_85 [38]

The block's speed at the point where x=0.25A is v = 31.95 cm/s.

<h3>What is Spring constant?</h3>

The spring stiffness is quantified by the spring constant, or k. For various springs and materials, it varies. The stiffer the spring is and the harder it is to stretch, the bigger the spring constant.

question is incomplete, this is the remaining statement

What is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations? And What is the block's speed at the point where x=0.25A?

x = Asin(wt)

v = Aw coswt

at t = 0

w = sqrt(k/m)

v = Aw

A = v/w

A = 7.17 cm

part b )

E = 1/2mv^2 + 1/2kx^2 = 1/2kA^2

mv^2 + k(1/4A)^2 = 1/2kA^2

mv^2 + kA^2/16 = kA^2

mv^2 = kA^2 - kA^2/16

mv^2 = 15kA^2/16

v^2 = 15/16 * (k/m) * A^2

v^2 = 15/16 *w^2A^2

v = sqrt(15/16) * wA

v = 31.95 cm/s

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.50-kg mass if it were 6.4×106 m above earth's surface (that is, if it were two earth rad
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Radius of Earth is given as

R = 6.4 * 10^6 m

now here the height from the surface of earth is same as that of radius

h = 6.4 * 10^6 m

now here the acceleration due to gravity at this height is given as

g' = \frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

g' = \frac{GM}{4R^2}

g' = \frac{g}{4}

now the force of gravity on the given object will be

F = mg'

F = m*\frac{g}{4}

F = 0.5 * \frac{9.8}{4}

F = 1.225 N

<em>so the force of gravity on it is 1.225 N</em>
