Sometime around 2024, astronomers at the European Southern Observatory hope to begin using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large T

elescope), which is planned to have a primary mirror 42 m in diameter. Let us assume that the light it focuses has a wavelength of 550 nm. (a) What is the most distant Jupiter-sized planet the telescope could resolve, assuming its resolution is limited only by diffraction? Express your answer in meters and light years. (b) The nearest known exoplanets (planets beyond the solar system) are around 20 light years away. What would have to be the minimum diameter of an optical telescope to resolve a Jupiter-sized planet at that distance using light of wavelength 550 nm? ( 1 light year = 9.461 × 10 15 m )

Vision is blurred if the head is vibrated at 29 Hz because the vibrations are resonant with the natural frequency of the eyeball
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

k = 4422.35  KN/m

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency ,f= 29 Hz

m = 7.5 g

Natural frequency ω

ω = 2 π f

We also know that for spring mass system

ω ² m =k        

k=Spring constant

So we can say that

( 2 π f)² =  m k

By putting the values

(2 x π x 29)² = 7.5 x 10⁻³  k

33167.69 = 7.5 x 10⁻³  k

k=4422.35 x  10³ N/m

k = 4422.35  KN/m

Therefore spring constant will be 4422.35  KN/m

PLEASE HELP!!! GIVING BRAINLIEST!! ill also answer questions that you have posted if you answer this correctly!!!! (60pts)
Alona [7]

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

"An object will float if the buoyancy force exerted on it by the fluid balances its weight, i.e. if FB=mg F B = mg . But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object."

Hope this helps! :)
