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 2-kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 10 m/s on the ground.
liberstina [14]
It's kinetic energy as the ball the ball isn't raised above the ground it does not have any gravitational potential energy. 
To find the kinetic energy of the ball you will have to use the formula:
KE=0.5 x m x v squared
m being mass and v being velocity 
so the calculation is:
0.5 x 2 x 10 x 10= 100J

castortr0y [4]

The fetus relies upon its mother as it develops. These are some of the things it needs:

<span>protection against knock and bumps, and temperature changes oxygen for respiration nutrients (food and water) </span>

The developing fetus also needs its waste substances removing.

The fetus is protected by the uterus and the amniotic fluid, a liquid contained in a bag called the amnion.
