A friend tells you that a lunar eclipse will take place the following week, and invites you to join him to observe the eclipse t

hrough a high-powered telescope he owns. You are curious what the eclipse might look like from different perspectives in space. If the moon has a diameter of 2,159.14 miles, what is the maximum distance that it could be observed by the naked eye with enough detail that you could distinguish it from other celestial bodies (assuming that you have 20/20 vision)

Answer:

y = 80.2 mille

Explanation:

The minimum size of an object that can be seen is determined by the diffraction phenomenon, if we use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two objects can be distinguished without the maximum diffraction of a body coincides with the minimum of the other body, therefore so much for the pupil of the eye that it is a circular opening

          θ = 1.22 λ/ d

in a normal eye the diameter of the pupils of d = 2 mm = 0.002 m, suppose the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the eye λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

         θ = 1.22 550 10⁻⁹ / 0.002

         θ = 3.355 10⁻⁴ rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the distance supported by this angle, the distance from the moon to the Earth is L = 238900 mille = 2.38900 10⁵ mi

       tan θ = y / L

       y = L tan θ

       y = 2,389 10⁵ tan 3,355 10⁻⁴

       y = 8.02 10¹ mi

       y = 80.2 mille

This is the smallest size of an object seen directly by the eye

What was Galileo’s contribution to the study of motion?
babunello [35]

Before giving you the answer straight away, I’d like to make sure you understand each option.


FIRST OPTION


“He developed the three laws of motion."


This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo did not develop the three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was the one to compiled the three laws of motion.


SECOND OPTION


“He was the first to systematically study force and motion."


This option is a statement is true, and it could also be the correct answer. Galileo Galilei used experiments to search for the cause of motion.


THIRD OPTION


“He was the first to discover gravity."


This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo was not the person to discover gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to discover gravity.


FINAL OPTION


“He improved on Newton's laws."


This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galilei did not improve Sir Isaac Newton’s laws.


Now that we’ve gone through each of the options individually, we can go ahead and determine the correct answer to the question, which is...


B ) He was the first to systematically study force and motion.

lozanna [386]

Answer: Some conversions from one system of units to another need to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the first measurement. This is sometimes called soft conversion. It does not involve changing the physical configuration of the item being measured.
